A strong Canadian presence continues this week across the golfing world.

Canadian LPGA story Brooke Henderson stayed true to her roots last week after winning the Lotto Championship held in Hawaii. When presented with the trophy, Henderson, who won the event by four shots, quickly got onto the subject of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy and said her win was dedicated to their memory.

“I just tried to stay strong for them,” Henderson said during a post-round interview with announcer Jerry Foltz. Henderson was also wearing the green and gold ribbon thanks to fellow Canadian LPGAer Alana Sharp, who got all the Canadians involved with the tour to wear the Humboldt ribbons. Henderson is now No. 2 in The Race to CME Globe, just behind Inbee Park.

Henderson’s win was her sixth of her young LPGA career. Not bad for a 20-year-old. Two more tour wins will tie her with legend Sandra Post as well as Mike Weir and George Knudson. Did we mention she’s only 20?
