GOLFERS HONOUR CRASH VICTIMS

-

Canadian golfers and their caddies are wearing green and gold ribbons at the LPGA’s Lotte Championsh­ip to honour the victims of the bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team.

Hamilton’s Alena Sharp posted a picture on Twitter of one of the ribbons pinned to the side of her hat. She says all the Canadians at the Hawaiian tournament were similarly showing support. Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., Anne-Catherine Tanguay of Quebec City and Maude-Aimee Leblanc of Sherbrooke, Que., are the other Canadians.

Canadians on other golf tours also showed their support, with PGA golfer Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., offering to donate money for every hole under par at this week’s RBC Heritage in South Carolina, while golfers at last week’s Symetra Tour event pinned green ribbons on their hats.
