PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — With the final three holes on the course creeping into view, it seemed like Brooke Henderson could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Heading into hole 16 at Blythefield Country Club in Belmont in the final round of the 2019 Meijer LPGA Classic, the Springs Falls, Canada, native had a two-stroke lead on the rest of the field.
Things seemed to be lining up like they had for Henderson throughout most of the tournament: smooth to the finish.
This time, it wasn’t.
A light drizzle started to fall as Henderson approached the tee box. Henderson wore a gray long-sleeved light jacket, which she tugged on while taking a deep breath. She aimed her black visor with white trip down as she starred at the ball she was about to strike. Like before every shot, time seemed to stand still for the 2017 Meijer Classic winner.
Her drive found the fairway and her approach shot landed on the fringe of the green. A two-putt would give her a par and keep her lead intact.
