Since I've been shouting out unique achievements this week, allow me shout out Brooke Henderson who made records along with her defense at the LOTTE Championship on Saturday.
In case you hadn't heard, eight is a magic number in Canadian golf. Up until Saturday, Sandra Post held the Canadian record for LPGA wins at eight. So Brooke has tied the legend.
But it gets even better, because Mike Weir and George Knudson (whose book, The Natural Golf Swing, I sometimes refer to in this blog) hold the Canadian record for PGA Tour wins. Can you guess what it is?
You got it the first time. Eight.
Which method Brooke is one of the four Canadian golfers with the most LPGA or PGA Tour wins in history -- and she did it in fashion, triumphing by 4 strokes underneath hard situations.
You can read the LPGA's write-up about it at this link. But this is a major milestone for Canada, and it shouldn't pass unnoticed. I'll just content myself to say, "Congratulations, Brooke. Now go get that ninth win!"
