Two of top players on the LPGA are Brooke Henderson and Nelly Korda. They are always in the mix and during last weekend’s LPGA tournament at Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament Of Champions was no different. They both had a shot to win, but Henderson lead from wire to wire to ultimately be crowned champion. Interestingly, the LPGA sent out a Tweet that compared each swing.
