Tears and Disbelief: Brooke Henderson Misses Cut in Crushing U.S. Open Defeat
The 2025 U.S. Women’s Open took a heartbreaking turn for Brooke Henderson, as the Canadian star fought back tears after a devastating missed cut ended her tournament far sooner than anyone expected.
Henderson, a fan favorite and former major champion, entered the week with high hopes but struggled to find her rhythm on the demanding course. Despite flashes of brilliance, uncharacteristic mistakes piled up, leaving her just outside the cut line when the dust settled. As the reality set in, an emotional Henderson shared a quiet moment with her caddie, the weight of disappointment etched across her face.
“It’s tough,” she admitted afterward, her voice wavering. “This tournament means so much to me, and I really believed I could contend. It just… didn’t happen this time.”
Fans expressed shock on social media, with many rallying behind the 12-time LPGA winner. “She’ll be back stronger,” one supporter tweeted, while another wrote, “Watching Brooke fight back tears hurts—she gives so much to this game.”
For now, Henderson will regroup, refocus, and prepare for her next chance at glory. But today—raw and emotional—belongs to the sting of what could have been.
