REGINA, SK – After an incredible performance, CP Ambassador Brooke Henderson has won the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open (CPWO) and helped future patients of the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital (JPCH) in the process.

Henderson shot 21 under par to become just the second Canadian to win this national championship, and the first since 1973.

The CP Has Heart program helped raise $2 million for brand new facilities in the pediatric cardiology unit at the JPCH. The total donation is the result of several fundraising efforts of the CP Has Heart campaign. Through CP Birdies for Heart, CP contributed $5,000 for each birdie made by a player on the 17th hole during tournament play. A total of 95 birdies represents a $475,000 donation. CP also matched all donations made online at www.pattisonchildrens.ca from February 14 to the end of the tournament.

“On behalf of our CP family of railroaders, congratulations to Brooke on her historic victory – it was a performance that gripped the entire country,” said Keith Creel, CP President and Chief Executive Officer. “This world-class tournament will also leave a lasting charitable legacy in Regina and the province of Saskatchewan, which has been an integral part of our CP network for over 100 years. We look forward to seeing the results of our collective efforts in supporting the important work of the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.”

“The CPKC Women’s Open coming to Saskatchewan is very exciting for our province, and all of us at the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital are incredibly thankful that CP chose the brand new JPCH as the beneficiary of the CPKC Women’s Open,” said Brynn Boback-Lane, President and CEO of Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation. “The funds raised will help build a state of the art cardiac facility that will allow children to receive the care they need right here at home. CP, the LPGA, Golf Canada, the Wascana Country Club, and the community have come together to support the little hearts of Saskatchewan, and we cannot thank them enough.”

Since becoming the title sponsor, CP has raised $8.5 million for pediatric cardiac care across Canada at the CPWO. At this year’s tournament, fans were invited to the CP Has Heart Activity Zone where they could take part in fun activations to help raise funds for the JPCH. For a donation, fans could take a swing in the golf simulator to attempt their closest shot to the pin, or putt on a miniature replica of Wascana Country Club’s 18th hole in the long putt challenge. All funds raised in the CP Has Heart Activity Zone were matched by CP.

The 2019 CPKC Women’s Open will be played at the Magna Golf Club in Aurora, Ontario. For more details, visit www.cpkcwomensopen.com.

REGINA (Golf Canada) – Golf Canada in partnership with title sponsor CP, the LPGA Tour and broadcast partner Golf Channel, are pleased to announce that Bell Media’s TSN will broadcast the final round of the 2018 CPKC Women’s Open at the Wascana Country Club on Sunday, August 26 live to Canadian audiences from coast to coast.

With possible inclement weather forecasted for Sunday in Regina and final round play adjusted to begin earlier, Golf Channel, the exclusive television rights holders for the 2018 CPKC Women’s Open, agreed to extend the Canadian broadcast television rights to TSN to bring live coverage of Canada’s National Women’s Open Championship directly to Canadian households.

Canadian Brooke Henderson, currently the 54-hole leader, looks to become the first Canadian golfer since Jocelyne Bourassa in 1973 to win Canada’s National Women’s Open Golf Championship.

The final round of the CPKC Women’s Open will be broadcast live on TSN1 and TSN3 from 1-4pm ET (11am to 2pm CT), and on TSN.ca and the TSN App for TSN and TSN Direct subscribers.

“Together with CP and the LPGA Tour, Golf Canada is so proud to work with our great partners at Golf Channel to ensure Canadians can experience this incredible moment in Canadian golf history,” said CPKC Women’s Open Tournament Director Ryan Paul. “We are also extremely thankful to Bell Media and TSN for coming together with Golf Channel to deliver Sunday’s final round live so that Canadians from coast to coast can experience the incredible finish to the CPKC Women’s Open.”

Golf Channel will broadcast the final round of the CPKC Women’s Open tape-delayed from 2-5pm CT and will also live-stream to US audiences on www.golfchannel.com.

With the forecast of rain and possible afternoon thunderstorms, the final round of the CPKC Women’s Open will start earlier than previously scheduled off the 1st and 10th tee beginning at 7:00 am CT in groups of three.

The final group of Canadian Brooke Henderson playing alongside Nasa Hataoka and Angel Yin will tee off at 9:01 am CT.

HENDERSON IN PRIME POSITION TO CAPTURE CANADA’S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AT 2018 CP WOMEN’S OPEN

temp fix empty alt images for attachment

REGINA (Golf Canada) – Canadian phenom Brooke Henderson heads to Sunday’s final round of the CPKC Women’s Open with history on the line. Henderson carded a 2-under 70 on Saturday and holds a one-stroke lead over teenagers Nasa Hataoka and Angel Yin.

“I’m definitely in a good position heading into the final round, which is very exciting,” said Henderson, whose quiet smile was magnified by the hordes of Canadian golf fans lining Wascana Country Club on Saturday. “I feel like these crowds this week have been totally amazing, and I’ve been playing well for them, so I’m happy about that.”

Three weeks ago, Georgia Hall became the first British player in since 2009 to win the Ricoh Women’s British Open. Fast forward to Sunday and another long winning drought could end. If Brooke Henderson holds onto her lead and wins the CPKC Women’s Open, she would be the first Canadian to win her country’s national championship since Jocelyne Bourassa won the inaugural tournament in 1973.

The pressure was certainly not lost on Henderson, who refused to think too far ahead.

“That would be pretty sweet,” said Henderson. “It’s definitely a long way from that. There’s like a million players within like five shots, so I definitely have to play my best and hopefully go low.”

FINAL ROUND TEE-TIME SCHEDULE CHANGE
With the forecast of rain and possible thunderstorms for afternoon, the final round will start earlier than previously stated, starting on 1 & 10 tees at 7 am in groups of three. The last groups will tee off at 9:01 am. The leaders will tee off #1 tee last, the highest scores will go off #10 last, and the median scores will go off first from each side.

YANG LEADS, HENDERSON AND YIN TRAIL BY ONE AFTER 36 HOLES AT CP WOMEN’S OPEN

Brooke Henderson

REGINA, Sask. (Golf Canada) – Amy Yang, gunning for her first victory of 2018, shot a second-round 65 at the CPKC Women’s Open to hold the 36-hole lead at 13-under 131. The three-time LPGA Tour winner, who last visited the winner’s circle in February 2017 at the Honda LPGA Thailand, took advantage of the prime early scoring conditions, carding nine birdies to just two bogeys.

“My putting was really good today,” said Yang, who needed just 26 putts Friday. “I was hitting it pretty solid out there, but I gave myself a lot of good chances, and I think I made most of them out there.”

Yang holds a one-stroke lead over young guns Brooke Henderson and Angel Yin. Henderson again had partisan Canadian crowds following her every move, thrilling the fans with a closing birdie at No. 9, while Yin carded three consecutive birdies to finish her round.

“To be close to the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend is awesome, especially when you’re here in Canada.”

Those words from Brooke Henderson highlight what could be a classic fairytale for Canada’s beloved star. Henderson started the day with a 55-yard birdie putt from off the green that set the pace for a crowd-pleasing round of 6-under 66 and a tie for second, one stroke behind the lead.

“To see that many people there to watch me finish was incredible. I was happy I was able to birdie for them and get to 12-under. It was a great day,” said Henderson, who carded seven birdies and one bogey on Friday. “I think starting on the back nine kind of gave me a lot of momentum, making a lot of birdies, and then was able to finish really strong here.”

If her hot streak continues over the weekend, Henderson would become the first Canadian to win Canada’s national championship since Canadian Golf Hall of Famer Jocelyne Bourassa accomplished the feat in 1973. She’s already set her best CPKC Women’s Open 36-hole score by eight strokes (she shot 140 in 2016) and heads into the weekend in the top five – the highest position she’s ever held in her home tournament.

While any hometown hero would feel the pressure of winning, Henderson felt comfortable and enjoyed Friday’s round.

“It’s definitely a lot easier to play in front of the fans when you’re playing really well,” Henderson added. “So, hopefully I keep it up.”

WEATHER COMES INTO PLAY AT WASCANA
Weather was a major factor on Friday afternoon, with winds gusting to 35 mph and temperatures quickly dropping. Winds picked up significantly starting at 11 a.m., giving players in the morning wave a marked advantage on those who played in the afternoon. The scoring average for the morning wave was 71.5, while it was 74.6 for the afternoon wave.

“I kind of was a little flustered in the middle when the wind picked up,” said Angel Yin, who carded both of her bogeys as she adjusted to the changing conditions. “I didn’t adjust quickly enough and I wasn’t hitting it well.”

Of the players in the top 10, only Ariya Jutanugarn (T4, three strokes behind Yang) played in the afternoon and she started the day tied for the lead.

Round 3 of the 2018 CPKC Women’s Open gets underway at 8:48 a.m. CT, with players playing in threesomes off the 1st and 10th tees.

THREE SHARE LEAD WITH HENDERSON LURKING AFTER FIRST ROUND OF CP WOMEN’S OPEN

Brooke Henderson
Brooke Henderson Brittany Henderson PHOTO BERNARD BRAULT, GOLF CANADA Regina, Saskatchewan: CP WOMEN'S OPEN Wascana Country Club ROUND 1 -Thursday, August 23Rd, 2018

REGINA, Sask. (Golf Canada) – A trio of players at very different places in their LPGA careers sit atop the leaderboard at 8-under 64 after 18 holes at the CPKC Women’s Open.

Ariya Jutanugarn, who won the CPKC Women’s Open in 2016, is aiming for her fourth win of 2018, a season where she is leading the LPGA Tour in numerous statistical categories. Second-year player Nasa Hataoka struggled in her rookie year of 2017 but broke through in June for her first LPGA Tour victory at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&B, while nine-year veteran Mariajo Uribe is still looking for her elusive first victory. The three players combined for 26 birdies and only two bogeys and sit one stroke clear of Angel Yin and Nanna Koerstz Madsen at 7-under 65.

Canadian favorite Brooke Henderson of Smith Falls, Ont., opened with a bogey, but came back with four consecutive birdies at holes 4-7, finishing at 6-under 66 and in a seven-way tie for sixth, a group that includes three-time CPKC Women’s Open champion Lydia Ko.

REGINA OUT IN FORCE FOR CANADIAN FAVOURITE HENDERSON

If you see a crowd on a Canadian golf course when the LPGA Tour is town, you can pretty much bet they’re watching Brooke Henderson. That was certainly the case on Thursday, as throngs of Regina natives lined the first tee as Henderson opened her first round, and they stayed with her for all 18 holes.

“When I first teed off this morning the fairway was lined and I wasn’t necessarily expecting that,” said Henderson, who carded eight birdies and two bogeys in her 6-under 66. “It was really amazing. The crowds just seemed to hang with me all day, even though it’s late. Even walking up 18 there were tons of people.”

While Henderson has reached the weekend at the last four CPKC Women’s Opens, even she admits the first round at her national championship has not necessarily been her friend. Today marks the first time she broke 70 in the first round, setting herself up for what she hopes is a strong finish – and just maybe becoming the first Canadian winner of this event since 1973.

“If I can do something like this over the next three days I think good things could happen,” said Henderson, who would join Jocelyne Bourassa as the only Canadian female to win her national golf title on home soil. “I’m just taking it a shot at a time and day by day and hopefully climbing up the leaderboard a little bit every day.”

LEADERS SET WASCANA COURSE RECORD

With their first-round 64s, Nasa Hataoka, Ariya Jutanugarn and Mariajo Uribe set the course record at Wascana Country Club. The previous mark was 65, shot by Todd Fanning of Winnipeg and Charles Fitzsimmons of London, Ont., when the course hosted the 2017 Canadian Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship.

PAST CHAMPIONS READY TO BATTLE AT 2018 CP WOMEN’S OPEN

temp fix empty alt images for attachment
Sung Hyun Park PHOTO BERNARD BRAULT, GOLF CANADA Regina, Saskatchewan: CP WOMEN'S OPEN Wascana Country Club Wednesday day- Pro Am and Walk with the pro -Wednesday, August 22nd, 2018

REGINA, Sask. (Golf Canada) – Newly minted Rolex Ranking No. 1 Sung Hyun Park is excited to return to Canada and defend her 2017 CPKC Women’s Open title.

A more confident and experienced Park enters this week’s event at Wascana Country Club after taking her fifth career victory at last week’s Indy Women in Tech Championship driven by Group 1001, which bumped her ahead of Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn for the top spot in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.

“I am so excited and happy to be ranked No. 1,” said Park, who became the first LPGA Tour rookie to reach the top of the world rankings when she held the spot for one week in November 2017. “Nothing has really changed. It does put a little bit of pressure on me, but I just want to maintain that type of play. I’m still going to focus on what I need to get done this week.”

The early portion of the 2018 season brought Park into a difficult patch in her game. Through her first 15 events, she grabbed two wins, but also uncharacteristically missed six cuts and only earned two other top-10 finishes. The hyper-competitive Park started to question if she would be able to live up to the lofty expectations set by her fans – and by herself. Now with those doubts cast aside, Park pursues more success in the last stretch of the 2018 season.

“I now have a lot more experience under my belt,” said the 24-year-old with five career LPGA Tour wins. “Even though I’ve had a couple missed cuts this season, I still feel like this is a really great season for me and I think I can win more tournaments this year.”

Most people don’t excel at professional sports at age 15. But most people aren’t Lydia Ko. The New Zealander won the 2012 CPKC Women’s Open as a 15-year-old amateur, becoming the youngest winner in LPGA history.

“I think even at that time it didn’t really settle in,” said Ko, who followed her maiden win up with another win in 2013 as an amateur and tacked on a third Canadian national title in 2015 as a professional. “I think you’re so young that you don’t really know what’s going on. Obviously, you’re super excited and super happy to have won, but, you know, I think I feel like I was very lucky right now looking back more than I was actually at that time. It was a lot to take in.”

Three years removed from that last win and Ko is primed for her fourth victory north of the border. The 21-year-old comes to Regina off a T16 finish at last week’s Indy Women in Tech Championship driven by Group 1001, and hopes to better her Canadian performance from 2017, when she missed the cut for the first time in her CPKC Women’s Open career.

“Every time I come back to Canada I feel like it’s another home for me,” said Ko. “It’s always great to come back to a place where you feel really welcomed and you don’t feel like a stranger. The crowds are there on practice rounds and Pro-Ams. That’s how excited they are to see us. I think that’s a cool thing for us to play in front of these massive crowds.”

The opening-round of the 2018 CPKC Women’s Open begins at 7:00 am off the first and 10th tees.

LORI WHITE NOMINATED FOR XL CATLIN VOLUNTEER AWARD

Lori White

Lori White has volunteered at the CPKC Women’s Open both times the Tour has visited Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club, which is also her home course. White did such a good job in 2008 as the Chair of Communications that she was elevated to the Tournament Co-Chair for the 2017 event.

For her contributions to the CPKC Women’s Open, White is the recipient of the 2018 XL Catlin Volunteer Service Award.

The perfect example of White’s eagerness to be the best Tournament Co-Chair possible came in 2016. In advance of the 2017 event back in Ottawa, she took time out of her busy schedule to fly across the country and attend the 2016 CPKC Women’s Open in Calgary to better understand the scope of organizing her volunteers. White also played a pivotal role in enlisting 49 members of the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club to manager 20 volunteer committees. She also spearheaded the recruitment of 1,200 volunteers.

SASKATOON’S BOBBI BRANDON MONDAY QUALIFIES FOR 2018 CP WOMEN’S OPEN

2018 CP Women's Open

REGINA, Sask. (Golf Canada) – Saskatoon native Bobbi Brandon was one of four golfers to claim the final exemptions into the 2018 CPKC Women’s Open via Monday’s qualifying event at Royal Regina Golf Club.

Brandon, a PGA of Canada Professional who works out of Moon Lake Golf & Country Club, carded a 2-over-par 74 to sit T2 among the 11-player field. This will be Brandon’s second appearance at the CPKC Women’s Open. She competed in Canada’s National Women’s Open in 1998 at Essex Golf and Country Club in Windsor, Ont., where she missed the cut.

Sweden’s Louise Stahle fired a 2-under par 70 to earn medalist honours.

American Jennifer Hahn (74) and Japanese amateur Kasumi Kuniyoshi (76) earned the final two spots.

Brandon will be the 16th Canadian in the field at the CPKC Women’s Open. All are trying to become the first Canadian to win an LPGA Tour event on Canadian soil since Canadian Golf Hall of Fame honoured member Jocelyne Bourassa won La Canadienne in 1973.
