Brooke M. Henderson of Team Canada plays a shot on the 18th hole during Day Four of the Women's Individual Stroke Play on day fifteen of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Le Golf National on August 10, 2024 in Paris, France.Canada’s Brooke Henderson stood by the side of the 14th green at Le Golf National on Saturday and practised her putting motion several times before walking to the next hole.
“I gave myself a lot of good opportunities,” Henderson said. “I feel like if I had made two or three different putts throughout the round then I feel like the momentum would have been more in my favour. A bogey on No. 13 stung and a missed seven-footer for birdie on the par-5 14th hurt too. She was just short of the green in two and had a chance to get a stroke back.
Germany’s Esther Henseleit took silver at 8 under and China’s Xiyu Lin picked up bronze at 7 under. The only other Canadian in the field, Alena Sharp of Hamilton , was tied for 42nd place. Henderson started strong Saturday by rolling in a 12-foot birdie putt on the second hole. She chunked an eagle chip and settled for par on the third before getting hot around the turn.
