Brooke Henderson wins Canadian Women’s Tour event

NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario (AP) — Brooke Henderson won a Canadian Women’s Tour event Wednesday, three days after the 16-year-old star tied for 10th in the U.S. Women’s Open.

Henderson, from Smiths Falls, had a bogey-free 6-under 66 on the Legends on the Niagara’ Battlefield Course to finish at 9-under 135 — five strokes ahead of Stephanie Connelly.

With the victory, Henderson earned a spot in the Canadian Women’s Open in August at London Hunt.

She also won a Canadian Women’s Tour event in Quebec in 2012 at age 14.
