Brooke Henderson came to Sahalee in 2016 an 18-year old rising star looking for her first major championship.
Eight years later, Henderson was surprised with a commemorative plaque on the 18th hole honoring her historic shot that secured that first major championship win over Lydia Ko.

"It's amazing to have my plaque here," Henderson said. "I love this place. I have so many special memories and it's just so beautiful. I'm grateful for the opportunity to come back here and now I can come back whenever I want, which is pretty cool."
Henderson hit her approach shot on the 18th hole in the playoff versus Ko to two feet, two inches before hitting a birdie putt to secure the KPMG Women's PGA Championship trophy.
"This victory, it made me a lot more popular," Henderson shared. "It gave me a lot more confidence and really the momentum to continue on with my career. Just to be back here eight years later is really special and I'm really grateful for this place."
