Canadian veteran Alena Sharp finds it hard to believe she’s been competing at CPKC Canadian Open for two decades
Alena Sharp finds it hard to believe she first competed at the Canadian women’s golf championship two decades ago.
“I’ve played so many great courses for the event and I’m just really happy to be there back in Calgary,” said Sharp, whose best finish at the Canadian championship was in 2016 at nearby Priddis Golf and Country Club where she finished fourth and cashed a cheque for $116,607. “It’s playing long right now. I’m not sure if it’ll firm up or not — definitely not getting any run on the drives yet. There’s a lot of mid irons into the greens, so you have to have some good trajectory to stop them.”
“Just being able to go out and attack where you can and be smart-aggressive on holes where par is good.” Along with Henderson, Sharp qualified to represent Canada at the Paris Olympics as the top two Canadians in the world rankings when the qualification window closed in late June. “That’s pretty amazing,” said Sharp. “They’re really good and they hit it far. I think it’s just changed a lot since when I was a kid, so it’s nice to see that. I hope they have a good week this week. It’s an amazing thing to be able to play in your national Open.”
