And the Canadian golfer could have scored four or five more birdies with more of her putts just missing the hole. Immaculate driving display from the tee. Eight minutes highlights package:

I like watching Henderson play...she really gives it a rip with her driver. I agree, had a few more putts fallen, that could have been a really low round (62 or 63...still, 66 is excellent). When she's on her game, she can really golf her ball.
shareYes I like to watch her as well. Brooke is a naturally aggressive player ( although her sister on the bag reins her in occasionally ) and it's great to see a player going for her shots. Nelly Korda would be an even better player I think if she wasn't so careful.
Agreed. I sure do like Nelly Korda's golf swing, though...what a gorgeous golf swing she has! 😃
I think Henderson has now surpassed Lexi Thompson as the "Player who's a ball-striking machine that will win at least one LPGA Tournament per season, even if her putting isn't always the best." 😃 Winning her second major last year was really huge for her. It'll be interesting to see if she can keep it going over the weekend...she's usually a pretty good frontrunner.
Yes Nelly has a great swing but she's so tall ( long arms and legs ) and thinner than her sister Jessica that she seems a little fragile to me, though I suppose she isn't.
Minjee Lee is another with a beautiful swing, so controlled and fluid. Minjee won her first major in 2021. In 2022 she won another one ( or two ) but she seemed to go off the boil after that.
