From scott_stinson: Brooke Henderson, Canada's quiet superstar, begins another LPGA season with a win
At the very beginning of her ninth professional season, she’s already continued a streak of winning at least once per year, a run that began before she was even a member of the LPGA Tour — her eight-stroke victory at Portland in 2015 as a 17-year-old resulted in the Tour exempting her from its age limit and granting her membership.
Yes, that is a subjective thing I just made up that has no definitive answer, but consider the resume: Those 13 LPGA wins include two majors, the 2016 LPGA Championship and last summer’s Evian Championship. She won the CP Women’s Open in 2018, becoming the first Canadian to win on home soil in 45 years. She’s had four seasons with multiple wins, and would make it five if she wins another tournament in 2023. Lorie Kane had multiple wins in a season once. Sandra Post had two such seasons.
When a panel of journalists voted on the Northern Star Award last month — formerly the Lou Marsh Award — as Canada’s athlete of the year, I picked Henderson. The winner was Marie-Philip Poulin, captain of the national women’s hockey team that won Olympic and World Championship gold. The case for Poulin is understandable, but it is an odd quirk that Henderson has never won the award even in a season with two wins, one of them a major.
