“Just another week on tour” Olympians back to work at Canadian Open
PRIDDIS, Alta. — It’s back to the real world for Brooke Henderson, Lydia Ko and a handful of other Olympians who have left Rio de Janeiro behind and are preparing for the Canadian Open.
Henderson, the 18 year old from Smiths Falls, Ont., finished in a tie for seventh place at the Summer Olympics.
Her face is everywhere at Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club where the Canadian Open, the national women’s golf championship, runs Thursday through Sunday. She’s hoping for a better finish back home in Canada than she achieved at the Olympics, lamenting the two or three shots that cost her a medal.
But coming from Rio to Priddis Greens isn’t a big deal.
