Brooke Henderson used the word “we” a lot minutes after repeating as winner at the Lotte Championship on Saturday at Ko Olina Golf Club.

She made it clear that was in reference to her caddie — who also happens to be her sister, Brittany.

“Patience was a huge key for us this week,” Brooke Henderson said. “I’m just so grateful to have her on the bag.”

It was a repeat win for Brittany Henderson, too. She has served as her younger sister’s caddie every year here since Brooke, 21, started playing in the Lotte in 2016. (Henderson finished T10 in 2016 and T11 in 2017.)

“We do consider ourselves a team, but in the end she’s the one hitting the ball,” Brittany Henderson said. “We discuss things a lot. I think we work very well together as a team.”

Any disagreements?

Brittany paused for a few seconds before answering.

“I don’t think so,” she said.

“She caddied for me as well in the past,” Brittany said. “We know what each other wants from a caddie.”

Doubling up

There have been many different LPGA Tour stops in Hawaii with many different names and title sponsors over the past 30-plus years.

But Brooke Henderson joins a short list of multiple winners in the islands.

Another woman from Canada, Lisa Walters, won the LPGA’s Hawaiian Ladies Open in 1992 and 1993, also at Ko Olina.

American Paula Creamer has also won two LPGA events in Hawaii: the SBS Open at Turtle Bay in 2007 and the Fields Open at Ko Olina in 2008.

Other former champs

Minjee Lee had a shot to become the first two-time winner at the Lotte Championship, entering Saturday’s final round one stroke behind co-leaders Brooke Henderson and Nelly Korda.

But the 2016 winner had trouble with the wind, and her two birdies on par-5 holes were more than negated by five bogeys. Lee finished 11 under overall, tied for third with Ariya Jutanugarn.

“The first two days I did really well and the third day I hung in there and (Saturday) I had a couple loose shots here and there and my putting got cold the last two days,” she said. “Other than that I think I’m hitting it pretty solid. Hopefully I can get my putter working a little better.”

It was not a great week for the three other former champions entered this year.

Sei Young Kim (2015) finished tied for 62nd at 3 over after a first-round 68. Cristie Kerr (2017) and Michelle Wie (2014) missed the cut.

Big rebound

The player who posted the best score for the final round carded the worst the day before.

Nicole Broch Larsen shot a career-low 8-under 64 on Saturday. She finished at 7 under overall and tied for 12th.

Her bogey-free final round made up the strokes lost taking a wrong turn on moving day with an 80.

“The biggest difference was how I felt like in my body and mentally,” said Broch Larsen, who shot in the 60s in every round except the third, and was at 7 under midway through the tournament. “I haven’t been in that position I was in before (Friday) for a while, and (it) definitely affected me. I just got in my own way out there.”

This was her best finish since a third-place tie at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open during her rookie year of 2017.
