Brooke Henderson Triumphs at 2025 CPKC Women’s Open
Hey everyone, here’s the latest from the golf world: Brooke Henderson has captured the CPKC Women’s Open for the second time in her career, in a dramatic finish at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club. Henderson, hailing from Smiths Falls, Ontario, delivered a stunning final-round 4-under 67, finishing just one stroke ahead of Australia’s Minjee Lee. With this victory, Henderson secured her 14th LPGA Tour win, and her first since January 2023, ending a nearly two-and-a-half-year gap without a title.
The tournament was electric, especially during the final six holes, where Henderson played at 3-under par. She sealed the win with a short putt for par on the 18th hole, triggering cheers from the crowd and an emotional celebration with her family, including her sister Brittany, who has long been her caddie and constant supporter. The atmosphere was unforgettable, even though the CPKC Women’s Open isn’t a major—on Sunday, it certainly felt like one.
This win was particularly meaningful because it marked Henderson’s second Canadian victory at this event, seven years after her first historic triumph in 2018, which ended a 45-year drought for Canadian champions. Back then, she won at Regina’s Wascana Country Club, making history for Canadian golf. In 2025, Henderson earned $412,500 from the $2.75-million purse, a boost from the $337,500 she earned in her first win here.

Sunday’s final round was a back-and-forth battle. Henderson and Lee came into the day tied at 11-under, both experienced leaders with multiple wins under their belts. Fans packed the course, cheering and reacting to every birdie and bogey. Early in the round, both golfers stayed neck and neck, trading birdies and pars. It wasn’t until the back nine that Henderson began to pull ahead, responding perfectly to Lee’s birdies with her own and keeping her lead intact even under immense pressure.
Other Canadians also made their mark. Fifteen-year-old amateur Aphrodite Deng made a strong LPGA debut, finishing tied for 20th at four-under par, while Maude-Aimée Leblanc, Monet Chun, and Katie Cranston also posted respectable finishes.
For Henderson, this victory represents a comeback in a season that had been challenging so far, with missed cuts and no top-10 finishes in stroke play events. “There were some dark times, for sure, but my family kept me motivated,” she said. Starting the tournament tied for 38th, Henderson fought her way up through the rounds, showcasing incredible resilience and determination.
So, with this win, Brooke Henderson not only reinforces her status as Canada’s most successful golfer but also reminds us all why she’s a fierce competitor on the LPGA Tour. A dramatic Sunday at Mississaugua will be remembered for years by fans, players, and Canadian golf enthusiasts alike.
Brooke Henderson’s journey continues, and if this week is any indication, more exciting moments are on the horizon.
