REGINA – A man from Virden, Man. who attended the 2018 CPKC Women’s Open in Regina along with his wife and his employer is receiving an extra special Christmas gift this year.
Doug and Michele Wright won the 50/50 daw worth $28,117.50 after their winning ticket was drawn August 26, the final day of the championship at Wascana Golf and Country Club. Golf Saskatchewan – who will benefit from the other half of the jackpot – has finalized all the details to get the funds to the Wright family. Doug said he’s still in shock from receiving the phone call.
“It’s amazing, of course I mentioned it to my kids and they pretty much have it spent,” he laughed. “I said you aren’t spending any of it until I actually see it and know it’s for sure.”
The Wright’s attended the event from Manitoba with Doug’s company who had a VIP section next to the 18th green. He said attending a professional golf event was something him and his wife of 32 years had always wanted to do. The couple, both avid golfers in Virden, were both impressed with the event even without the win-fall.
“We didn’t realize how much we’d enjoy it,” he said. “We’ve never been to anything like this, but it was very well organized. It was nice to see Brooke Henderson win it all, too.”
Wright purchased his 50/50 ticket while walking the course and venturing away from the corporate tents along the final hole. The long-time golfer said he was impressed by the talent of the field in Saskatchewan’s capital.
“I’ve been golfing for a long time and I’m a bogey golfer at best but, it’s so routine for the LPGA players. They hit their drives, never in trouble, then they hit their second shot and I’m doing a cart wheel if I hit the green, but these ladies expect to be within 10 to 15 feet of the pin,” Wright said.
The 50/50 jackpot was a cherry on top of the experience for the Wrights. The tricky part now is deciding what to with the winnings. Doug said their three kids and four grandchildren have a few ideas.
“The kids were thinking we could go on a family vacation, so it might go to that or it might just be me and Michele going south and doing some golfing. I’m sure they will accept anything we graciously hand out so we will see what happens,” he said.
Golf Saskatchewan is benefitting, more importantly, junior golf in the province will see half the funds directed their way. Wright said that makes the ticket purchase a win-win proposition.
“I am so glad I bought it, I’m a golfer and I’m glad this will help with the junior programs. Keep up the good work because this was a great event,” he said.
Brittany Henderson, the older sister of Brooke Henderson, is one of nine people who was recently inducted into Coastal Carolina University’s Buddy F. Sasser Athletics Hall of Fame.
Prior to putting her successful playing career behind her to caddy full-time for her sister on the LPGA Tour, Brittany Henderson was a member of Team Canada’s Development (2006-2008) Team.
Collegiality, Henderson finished her Coastal career ranked third in program history in career scoring average (75.94). .She led Coastal to a pair of Big South championships in 2011 and 2013 and she was the back-to-back Individual Medalist at the 2012-13 Big South Championships. Henderson is one of two Coastal women’s golfers to compete in an NCAA Regional in each of her four years, and she also advanced to the 2011 NCAA Championship. She was voted the 2013 Big South Golfer and Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was a four-time All-Big South selection. In 2012, Henderson set the Coastal record for the lowest individual score at a Big South Championship (214) and she tied the conference record for lowest individual round at a Big South Championship (68).
Henderson was officially inducted as the Hall’s 28th class on the evening of Nov. 9. The Class of 2018 was also publicly honored at halftime of Coastal Carolina’s football game versus Arkansas State on Nov. 10.
Seven of the nine inductees are former Chanticleer student-athletes, including Henderson (women’s golf), Jose Iglesias (baseball), Chelsy Kimes (volleyball), Erica Peake (women’s track and field), Sebastian Soderberg (men’s golf), Mike Tolbert (football) and Cody Wheeler (baseball). Also being inducted as honorary members are retired women’s basketball coach, Alan LeForce, and retired University photographer, Bill Edmonds.
Brooke Henderson earned another accolade Thursday night, taking the female summer athlete of the year honour at the Canadian Sports Awards, while short-track speedskating star Kim Boutin earned the winter distinction.
Henderson became the first Canadian woman in 45 years to win an LPGA title on home soil with her victory at the CPKC Women’s Open in Regina last month.
The 21-year-old from Smiths Falls, Ont., has seven LPGA victories, one shy of the Canadian record held by Sandra Post.
This was the 41st edition of the Canadian Sports Awards, but first since 2012. The awards honour the top Canadian athletic performances over the past 12 months.
Stars from the LPGA Tour took to their favourite social media platforms following the 2018 CPKC Women’s Open to thank tournament organizers, sponsors and hosts.
REGINA, Sask. (Golf Canada) – For the first time since 1973, a Canadian has won her country’s national golf championship. In front of hordes of fans screaming her name and singing O Canada, Brooke Henderson shot a final-round 65 and earned a decisive four-stroke win over Angel Yin at Regina’s Wascana Country Club.
Lifted all week by the adoring Canadian fans, Henderson carded birdies at five of her closing eight holes. While the win was at hand, Henderson didn’t feel it was truly hers until she put her approach at No. 18 to just 3 feet, ultimately sealing the victory.
“I know that might sound a little silly because I did have a few-shot lead, but anything can happen down the stretch,” said Henderson, who became the first Canadian since Jocelyne Bourassa in 1973 to win the CPKC Women’s Open. “I was pretty nervous. This was a big deal for me. To be able to hit that shot in and finally know that it was basically over was incredible, and I feel like that was the first time all day that I could really smile and really enjoy everything to its fullest.”
HENDERSON LOOKS ABOVE FOR WINNING SUPPORT
It’s certainly been a long summer for Brooke Henderson and her family. In early June, Henderson’s maternal grandfather, Robert Moir, passed away after a battle with cancer, causing the Canadian star to withdraw from the U.S. Women’s Open after 18 holes to rush to his side. Then her paternal grandfather, Clem Henderson, died in early August while she was in England for the Ricoh Women’s British Open.
Henderson is normally reserved on the golf course and her on-course victory festivities tend toward quiet celebrations. But the win in Canada, and all the weight lifted off her petite shoulders, brought tears to her bright blue eyes.
“I think just all the hard work that my family has put into this, my dad and my coach, my mom, my best supporter, and my sister, who’s also my caddie,” said Henderson. “This was a big dream and a big goal for all of us, and I think it’s just a cumulative effort of all of us that gave me the chance to be able to lift that. I mentioned I thank God for this, for this win and just the many opportunities that I’ve been given. My grandfathers have passed away this summer, and I really think they were helping me today.”
IN HER WORDS – HENDERSON ON WHAT IT MEANS TO WIN IN CANADA
“I definitely feel like it was meant to be this week. I knew it wasn’t over until basically 18, but I just had that good feeling. It’s just amazing and a dream come true.”
BOURASSA HAPPY TO SHARE TITLE WITH HENDERSON
With her win today at Wascana, Brooke Henderson joined her countrywoman Jocelyne Bourassa as the only Canadians to win the CPKC Women’s Open. Bourassa took the title at the inaugural event in 1973, then called the La Canadienne, for her only LPGA Tour victory. Bourassa served as LPGA treasurer in 1974-75 and from 1980-2000. She worked as the executive director of the Du Maurier Classic, the name under which the CPKC Women’s Open was played as a major from 1979-2000.
Now 71, Bourassa shared the following statement with Golf Canada in celebration of Henderson’s win:
“Together with golf fans and Canadians from coast to coast, I want to pass along my most sincere congratulations to Brooke Henderson on her historic win at the 2018 CPKC Women’s Open. It’s been 45 years since Canada celebrated a homegrown champion Women’s Open Championship and I couldn’t be prouder today to pass that incredible honor to Brooke Henderson. My win in 1973 in front of so many Canadian golf fans was the most special moment of my golfing career and I can image how satisfying this accomplishment must feel for Brooke and her family today. She is an incredible talent and her commitment to be the very best has brought her amazing success on the global golf stage and has inspired so many others in the game. Félicitations, congratulations to Brooke!”
HENDERSON CLOSING IN ON ALL-TIME CANADIAN GOLF HISTORY
With her seventh win, Brooke Henderson is just a win shy of tying Sandra Post for the most victories by a Canadian player in LPGA Tour history. With one more one, she would also join Post, Mike Weir and George Knudson as all-time Canadian golfers with eight PGA TOUR or LPGA Tour victories.

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.
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.

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.

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.
