“Oh My Gosh, It’s Brooke”: Michelle Xing’s Locker-Room Moment
Canadian amateur Michelle Xing reflects on an opening-round 65 featuring only 23 putts at the 2026 CPKC Women’s Open.
Xing discusses making several long putts from the fringe, the importance of avoiding Royal Mayfair’s thick rough and the support she received after gaining entry into the tournament at short notice.
She also talks about pursuing her first LPGA Tour cut, the strength of Canada’s young female golfers and her excitement at finding her locker only two places away from Brooke Henderson’s.
