VANCOUVER — Brooke Rivers says she's just focused on playing golf at this week's CPKC Women's Open. But she still stopped to sign an autograph for a young girl as she crossed over from her front nine to the back nine.
That quick pause in her round came as she was one of the early leaders on Thursday morning at the Canadian women's golf championship. The 18-year-old Rivers, a collegiate player set to start her first full year of university, finished her round at 1-under 71, the lowest score of any amateur at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club.
"Yeah, a little bit different," Rivers said with a laugh."It's fun just to kind of inspire the younger generation." "In the practice round I wasn't close enough to go for the green on 15, but today I was full send going for the green and ended up in a good place," she said, grinning."Short-sided myself, but hit a perfect chip and went in."
"I'm missing my first week of college to be here," said Rivers, who will play for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons starting this fall."Worth it, but it's just about golf. It's not about the tournament or who is in it.Rivers is one of 15 Canadians in the field at the Women's Open. Ten of those players are amateurs, as Golf Canada works to develop a new generation of professional golfers.
