CALGARY — American Lauren Coughlin credits her caddie, Terry McNamara, with helping keep her head in the game during the opening round of the 2024 CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament.
Coughlin shot a 4-under, 68 on Thursday to sit atop the early leaderboard at the Canadian women’s golf championship.
Brooke Henderson, of Smiths Falls, Ont., also credited her caddie – her older sister, Brittany – for helping her bounce back to shoot an even-par 70 after opening with a bogey on the par 4, 11th hole. “Not really the hot start I wanted to get off to but felt like we fought pretty hard," Henderson said."We were in some tough spots on some holes, so it was nice to battle it out, get even par.Amateur Katie Cranston, of Oakville, Ont., started her round with an eagle on the par 5, 550-yard first hole. She went on to finish at 1-over, 71.
Although her group _ which included Maddie Szeryk, of London, Ont. – didn't attract the crowd that Henderson usually gets, Cranston did receive a smattering of applause after her eagle.
