Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ontario finished in a tie for third place at the 2019 Canadian Women’s Open in Aurora, Ontario on Sunday. Henderson finished in a tie for third place with Lizette Salas of the United States and were seven shots back of the champion, Jin Young Ko of South Korea.

Henderson was one shot back of Annie Park of the United States after round one. Henderson shot a first round score of 66, and her round of -6 was tied by fellow Canadian Anne-Catherine Tanguay of Quebec City, Quebec.
In round two, Henderson remained in contention as she improved to -9, and was three shots back of Larsen, who was at -12 and two shots back of Ko at -11. In the third round on Saturday, Henderson had a topsy turvy 18 holes of golf. She started off lousy as she went two over par after the first six holes to move back to -7. Then from the eighth to the 17th holes, Henderson went nine under par as she had seven birdies and an eagle. At -16, Henderson was two shots back of Ko and Larsen, who were each at -18.
This was Henderson’s fourth top three finish of 2019. She has wins at the Lotte Championship in Hawaii and the Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan in June, along with a second place finish at the Pure Silk Championship in Williamsburg, Virginia in May.
