Two Women’s Southern Nevada Golf Association members earned trips to the U.S. Women’s Senior Amateur, Ronda Henderson and Carrie Langevin. Henderson made it all the way to the Sweet 16, while Langevin didn’t qualify out of stroke play.
The tournament was played at Broadmoor Golf Club in Seattle, Washington Sept. 21-26, 2024.
Langevin has won multiple WSNGA events and also was the 2023 Southern Highlands Club Champion, among other accolades. She also played in the 2021 U.S. Women’s Senior Amateur.
Henderson was over the moon with the week and her performance. Fellow WSNGA member Regina Quintero was on her bag.
“The first thing that comes to mind is that I proved to myself that I belong out here, playing against the best amateurs in the country,” Henderson said. “I knew I did, but I had to perform for that belief to really mean something. The proof is in the pudding, right? I outscored most of the field in the two rounds of stroke play. Then I beat two players with vastly more USGA tournament experience than I have in my first two matches. In fact, I was never down in either match. And I held my own against the defending champion, only 1 -down thru 14 holes before losing.”
What occurred on her phone and off the course will never be forgotten by Henderson.
