Before Brooke Henderson became Canada’s winningest golfer, then-teenager Sandra Post blazed the trail

Brooke Henderson might be the winningest Canadian golfer, but Sandra Post was the first female athlete from Canada to make a living playing a sport. Post became the first Canadian to join the LPGA in 1968 at age 19 and promptly became the first Canadian — male or female — to win a major championship that same year when she defeated Kathy Whitworth in an 18-hole playoff at the LPGA Championship.
