"It was a lot of fun," said Henderson, the 2016 Women's PGA Champion. "I know they're great in what they do off the course and they showed me they have a lot of skills on the course too."
Since the tournament is a charitable event for the LPGA pros, the Smiths Falls native is using it to get his game ready for the season, which begins in two weeks.
"I'm kind of using to test it out and see how it is and I'm pretty confident right now, I feel like I'm hitting the ball really well and hopefully this week I'll kind of get some of the loose stuff out and get ready for the Bahamas."
