RANCHO MIRAGE, California — Brooke Henderson tested a number of different driver shafts and heads trying to find the perfect match heading into the Chevron Championship.
This marks her first week of competition using a shorter driver after the LPGA put in place the new Model Local Rule last week, which gives tours the option to limit the maximum length of a driver to 46 inches. Henderson, who said she feels at peace now about the new club, has used a 48-inch driver since junior golf and is one of the best overall drivers of the golf ball on tour.
Why wait until a major to make the change?
