Smart golf leaves Henderson one back at U.S. Women's Open BobWeeksTSN has MORE:
It wasn’t the perfect ending to a brilliant day but overall, Brooke Henderson will take a solid opening round at the U.S. Women’s Open in San Francisco.
Off the tee, Henderson used a mixture of drivers and fairway woods to try and stay out of the nasty rough. It worked as she found 11 of 14 fairways. For a golfer who prefers to swing from her toes off most tees, it was a test of patience, which she passed with ease, thanks in part to a game plan devised with her sister and caddie Brittany.
Throughout the day she managed to manoeuvre her ball close to the pin, sometimes running it up and on other occasions flying it in and getting it to spin to a stop. On the fifth hole, she ended up two and a half feet from the cup. On the eighth hole, it was three feet. On the 10th and 11th, she ended up four feet and six feet respectively. All four of those were converted into birdies.
There were two blips, however, including the final-hole three-putt, which clearly stung Henderson. The other was a four-footer on the 14th hole that she pushed out to the right, never giving it a chance to find the bottom.
