Henderson wins People's Choice Award, trails by 7 at BMW Ladies Championship

BMW Ladies Championship leaderboard https://www.lpga.com/tournaments/bmw-lpga-international/leaderboard

Both Brooke Henderson (68) and Alena Sharp (70) are T30 at -3 playing into the weekend at this BMW Ladies Championship in Busan, South Korea.

Brooke has won the Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame People’s Choice Award, a new award designed to “Recognize future Hall of Famers who are a champion of their sport and a champion for their community.” The nine-time LPGA winner embodies that description. 

To give you some idea of Brooke outside the lines, she has put in charitable time in the U.S. as well as here.  Along with participating in multiple charity outings throughout the year in the U.S., in May she participated in a junior clinic for golfers in Ottawa for the fourth time in her career. She also partnered with Sketchers to host her own junior clinic in September at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club, where she raised more than $27,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Perth and Smiths Falls Hospitals and the Wildlife Fund of Canada. 


Now just 22 years old  she has also won the Canadian Press Female Athlete of the Year, in 2015, 2017 and 2018, and the 2019 ESPY Award for Best Female Golfer

Danielle Kang won last week and is leading (67 67) at -10 this week. The young American is just ahead of 5 South Koreans on a tightly bunched leaderboard.

First round leader Minjee Lee is T4, 66,70 -8
