Overview
- Henderson learned that her sister Brittany had given birth to a daughter early Thursday and said the news arrived minutes before she woke up.
- She posted a 3-under 69 in the opening round at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and was among the clubhouse leaders after Thursday’s play.
- The baby was named Sahalee, a name the family links to Sahalee Country Club and its meaning “high heavenly grounds.”
- Henderson said the birth and the name provided a positive emotional boost as she finished four birdies over her final 12 holes, and she plans to meet the baby next week.
- The name ties to a 2016 through-line when Henderson won her first major at Sahalee Country Club with Brittany on the bag, and this week marks the 10-year anniversary of that victory.
