Career Update: Brooke Henderson Fires 65 at Ford Championship
Brooke Henderson delivered a commanding performance at the 2025 Ford Championship presented by Wild Horse Pass, carding a bogey-free 7-under 65 in the opening round. The Canadian star showcased precision, poise, and a renewed competitive fire as she navigated the challenging layout with ease, positioning herself among the early tournament leaders.
The round marked one of Henderson’s lowest opening scores in recent months, signaling a potential resurgence after a quiet start to her 2025 LPGA season. Starting on the back nine, Henderson wasted no time getting into red figures, tallying birdies on holes 11, 13, and 16 before making the turn. She continued her strong play on the front, rolling in additional birdies on 2, 4, 6, and 7 to cap off a flawless round.
“Everything felt really solid out there,” Henderson said in a post-round interview. “My ball-striking was sharp, and I gave myself a lot of good looks. It’s nice to see the putts drop early in the tournament.”
Henderson, currently ranked among the top 15 in the world, has been searching for consistency since her last victory in early 2023. The strong start in Arizona is a promising sign that her form is trending upward at a crucial time in the LPGA schedule, with multiple majors just around the corner.
Fans and analysts alike praised her composed demeanor and aggressive play—a hallmark of her game since bursting onto the scene as a teenager. With confidence brewing, Henderson is poised to contend through the weekend as she seeks her 14th career LPGA title.
Round two action resumes Friday, and all eyes will be on Henderson to see if she can maintain the momentum and add another memorable chapter to her decorated career.
