The field: Three players to keep an eye on

The CP Women’s Open starts Thursday at Wascana Country Club in Regina (TV: Golf Channel):

BROOKE HENDERSON

All eyes will be on the 20-yearold native of Smiths Falls, Ont., as she goes for her second LPGA Tour win of the season. Henderson, who won last April in Hawaii, is brimming with confidence after closing with a 63 last week in Indianapolis to finish tied for seventh. She made her CP Women’s Open debut as a 14year-old and quickly rose up the rankings as a teenager. Henderson currently holds the No. 14 position. Two more victories will pull her into a tie with Sandra Post for most career wins (eight) on the LPGA Tour.

LYDIA KO

Three of Ko’s 15 career LPGA Tour wins have come in Canada: two as an amateur and one as a pro. Ko became the youngest winner in LPGA history in 2012 when she won in Edmonton at the age of 15 years four months two days. She defended her title a year later and won again in 2015. The world No. 16 from New Zealand would set a tournament record with a fourth title at this event.

SUNG HYUN PARK

The defending champion from South Korea has picked up where she left off after an impressive rookie season last year. Park and Ariya Jutanugarn lead all LPGA Tour players with three wins apiece this year. Park’s victory last week in the Indy Women in Tech Championship bumped Jutanugarn down to second in the world rankings. Park became the fastest player in LPGA history to reach $2 million U.S. in career earnings. She did it in seven months 13 days, needing only 19 starts.
