2024 Evian Championship: Brooke Henderson Explains Why Her Glasses are So Clutch
It’s been almost a year now since Brooke Henderson started wearing glasses and while she hasn’t won yet with them, she feels they’ve “definitely” improved her game. “I’ve always had trouble with my eyesight,” she explained earlier this summer at the U.S. Women’s Open.
“I’ve never really been able to see the ball land or certain things since the start of my career, but I was a feel player, so I just really leaned into that feel, and then I would just ask my sister, like is that on the green, or is it in the apron, or where is it? So I was really dependent on her for a while.
“Then I decided I wanted to be able to see where the ball was going and I wanted to maybe have a little bit better feel around the greens, which I think the glasses really help because I can see it a little clearer.” Henderson, who won this event 2022 and finished second last year to Boutier, shot 69 in the afternoon wave, when scores were higher, and trails by five.
