16 year old Brooke Henderson becomes World #1 amateur..

Minjee Lee turned professional in the early hours this morning, a day after leading Australia to a comeback victory in Japan in the Women’s World Amateur Team Championship over Canada.


The 18-year-old Lee, was No. 1 in the world amateur golf ranking and 82nd overall, and she will make her first appearance as a professional next week in the Evian Championship in France.

Born in Perth, Lee won the 2012 U.S. Junior Girls’, the 2013 and 2014 Australian Women’s Amateur titles and the 2014 Victorian Open and in addition she was low amateur at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in California in April in her first start in a major championship, and received the Mark H. McCormack Medal as the No. 1 women’s amateur this year.

As a result, Team Canada’s Brooke Henderson will jump from second to first in the amateur ranking. The 16-year-old won the individual title in Japan Saturday, beating second-place Lee by three strokes, and leading Canada to a second-place finish
