Golf Town ambassador Brooke Henderson returns to the Amundi Evian Championship with plenty of momentum at this particular major championship and can’t wait to tee it up at one of her favourite venues of the year.

Brooke, who finished second last year and won the year prior, knows all the keys to success at Evian-Les-Baines and is eager to put those into play once again.

“Having that venue where we return year after year it definitely adds an extra level of knowing your misses and where to hit it and then when you arrive early in the week, you’re just looking at the conditions. Is it soft? Is it firm? And you can adjust your game plan according to that,” Brooke said. “You have most things written down like where to hit it to give yourself good birdie looks.”

In 2022, Brooke opened with rounds of 64-64 and would eventually go on to win by one – capturing her second major championship after a final-hole birdie.

Last year Brooke returned to defend her title and had a wonderful week. Celine Boutier, a native of France, was just not going to be topped however – she went on to win by an incredible six shots.

It was Boutier’s first major-championship title.

“I’m very overwhelmed. I was just looking at the names on this trophy and I just… it’s been such a goal, more like a dream for so long. Just to be able to pull it off this week has been definitely unexpected,” Boutier said last year. “It’s just unbelievable that I get to have my first major win at home, in France. I could not have scripted it any better.

“I feel like it’s just so perfect that it’s hard to believe that it’s true.”

Boutier’s major triumph was her second win of the season, and she would go on to win twice more before the end of 2023.

This year, Brooke will come into the Evian Championship off a top-10 result alongside Lexi Thompson at the LPGA Tour’s team event, the DOW Championship. It was Brooke’s sixth top-10 finish of the season and she’s said through the early part of the summertime that her game is trending in the right direction as she gears up for a busy stretch – including representing Canada at the Olympics!

Plenty of the game’s best are set to tee it up in France including world No. 1 Nelly Korda – who is entered in the field after recovering from getting bit by a dog – and No. 2 Lilia Vu. Recent major champs Amy Yang and Yuka Saso are teeing it up along with two-time winner this season Hannah Green, and former world No. 1s Minjee Lee and Atthaya Thitikul.

Savannah Grewal is the only other Canadian in the field.

It’ll be a tough field to top once again, but Brooke said she’s up for the challenge!

“I love that week,” Brooke said. “Having won in 2022 and finishing second in 2023 – it’s a special venue. Beautiful, right above Lake Geneva. I definitely have a lot of great energy from the last two years, and I’d love to hoist that trophy again.”
