SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES — When Brooke Henderson stood on the 18th fairway at Le Golf National on Wednesday afternoon, she wasn’t thinking like she would during the first round of an LPGA tournament.

No, the winningest Canadian pro golfer ever was thinking of what it would take to get in contention for an Olympic medal.

With 208 yards over water for that second shot on the Par 5, Henderson wasn’t worried about throwing money away by sliding down the leaderboard with a bogey because there is no money in this tournament. She was thinking of finding a way to keep herself in the hunt for the podium.
