‘Ottawa’ Henderson the Talk of the Town After Big LPGA Win
OTTAWA — It’s 45 minutes past sunrise on a windy, sweater-and-a-jacket Monday morning at Loch March Golf & Country Club, and Danielle Nadon is talking about the “coolness.”
No, not the weather. She’s talking about the poise of Brooke Henderson.
“For her, the coolness is she plays for the game,” says Nadon, the pro and general manager at Loch March. “It’s not about fame. It’s about the win, but it’s also about playing every hole. She loves to play.”
Just about everybody in the nation’s capital, if not the entire nation, was talking about Henderson the morning after her gripping playoff victory over the world’s No. 1-ranked Lydia Ko at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship Sunday. At golf courses. At work places. At coffee shops. On sports talk radio. If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, you heard all about it from somebody who did.
