Henderson is the winningest golfer in Canadian history.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time Henderson has delivered a big performance at home. <a href=\"https:\/\/olympic.ca\/2018\/08\/26\/brooke-henderson-makes-history-with-win-at-cp-womens-open\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">She won the 2018 edition<\/a> of the event when it was hosted in Regina, Saskatchewan. In both cases, Henderson had the crowd, her skill, and a bit of luck on her side, in the form of lucky toonies that were placed in the 18th hole to provide a wink of extra luck for the Canadian players. Henderson is the first Canadian player to win the national open more than once since 1914.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"754\" width=\"1131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/toonie-.jpg\" alt=\"A Canadian toonie is removed from the 18th hole at the 2025 CPKC Women's Open\" class=\"wp-image-343070\"  \/>A toonie is removed from the 18th hole following Canada\u2019s Brooke Henderson\u2019s win at the CPKC Women\u2019s Open at the Mississauga Golf and Country Club in Mississauga, Ont., Sunday, Aug. 24, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS\/Thomas Skrlj<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis week was beyond special. To be able to finish it off and hoist the trophy again is extremely cool. It feels super surreal still. When I won in 2018, I woke up Monday morning thinking I still had to play the final round, so I\u2019m wondering if that nightmare will happen again tomorrow,\u201d Henderson said with a chuckle in the post-tournament press conference.<\/p>\n<p>Hoisting the trophy at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club was extra satisfying during a year that has been one of her toughest performance-wise since she turned pro in 2014. She had made 64 starts since her last victory in January of 2023. But winning at home made it worth the wait.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like Canada needed a win this year, so I\u2019m really happy to bring them one,\u201d said Henderson.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"754\" width=\"1131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/brooke-putt.jpg\" alt=\"Brooke Henderson squats to study the green\" class=\"wp-image-343071\"  \/>Canada\u2019s Brooke Henderson lines up a putt on the fourth hole during the fourth round of the CPKC Women\u2019s Open at the Mississauga Golf and Country Club in Mississauga, Ont., Sunday, Aug. 24, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS\/Thomas Skrlj<\/p>\n<p>Henderson took the win by one over Australia\u2019s Minjee Lee, after the two battled back and forth all day after starting three ahead of the chasing group. Henderson took a one-stroke lead on the 14th hole, but perhaps the turning point moment was Henderson\u2019s 12-foot putt for birdie on the 17th hole, made under pressure to match Lee\u2019s birdie and maintain her advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Henderson finished her fourth round with a four-under score of 67. The win in Mississauga secures Henderson a spot in the CME Group Tour Championship at the end of the year, as well as the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in January, which she won in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"THE CANADIAN PRESS\/Thomas Skrlj August 25, 2025 This one was a special one for Brooke Henderson.
