Henderson eagle seals play-off win at ShopRite LPGA Classic

Brooke Henderson sank a short eagle putt on the first play-off hole on Sunday to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic in New Jersey.

Henderson outdueled Lindsey Weaver-Wright in the play-off. Both players shot 12-under in regulation but Weaver-Wright made a par 5 on the play-off hole at 18.

Henderson shot a seven under 64 on Sunday while earning her 11th career victory. Weaver-Wright fired a 65.

Henderson set up her victory with a stellar second shot on the play-off hole with the ball stopping about six feet from the hole. Weaver-Wright reached the green on her third shot and then missed a birdie putt before completing her par.

With two putts to win, Henderson needed just one as she knocked the short put tin the hole.

"With play-offs, you really only have one opportunity so I just tried to go out and hit really solid shots," Henderson said afterwards.

"So to walk up that fairway and see that I only had a pretty short (putt) was a big relief. Just needing two putts to win was also really clutch."

Henderson's victory is her first since prevailing at the LA Open nearly 14 months ago.

"I'm just super excited," Henderson said. "It felt like a long time since my 10th victory. I've been putting in some work."
