WOMEN’S TOP 10
Brooke Henderson climbs back into the top 10 in the world rankings following her runner-up finish at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. The four place gain puts her at No. 8 in the world, which is where she began the year. The runner-up finish also comes just two weeks after she had picked up her fourth career LPGA title. Henderson became the first defending champion since Laura Davies in 1995 – and fifth overall – to follow their win with a runner-up finish the next year. Henderson should take note that Davies would go on to win the tournament again the following year. Henderson and winner Danielle Kang were also the only two players in the field to break 70 in all four rounds.
No. 2 Alena Sharp maintained her world ranking after finishing in a tie for 36th at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
