PRIDDIS, Alberta -- Brooke Henderson is the face of Canadian golf. Lydia Ko is a big hit, too -- and every bit as comfortable.I feel when I come to Canada, it feels a lot like New Zealand, feels a lot like home, Ko said Wednesday, a day before the start of play in the Canadian Pacific Womens Open. Just even how they say `eh at the end of sentences. A lot of people back at home say `eh, too. ... Everyone has just been super welcoming, and I think thats the thing about it. The 18-year-old Henderson had a large crowd for her pro-am round at Priddis Greens.Having Canadians and people from all over the world kind of celebrate this national championship is really cool, Henderson said. Even this morning, I teed off at 8 in a pro-am, and there were people following me right from the start. My gallery kind of grew throughout the day, and as I finished, that was probably the longest autograph session that Ive ever had.The top-ranked Ko has won the event three of the last four years, the first two as an amateur. The New Zealander won in 2012 at Vancouver Golf Club at 15 years, 4 months to become the LPGA Tours youngest winner and fifth amateur champion. She successfully defended her title in 2013, winning by five strokes in Edmonton. Last year back at Vancouver as a pro, she beat Stacy Lewis in a playoff.The 19-year-old Ko has four LPGA Tour victories this season, winning the ANA Inspiration in April for her second major title.Lydia is truly amazing, Henderson said. Shes an inspiration to me and I think everybody that knows her.Henderson beat Ko in a playoff in June in the KPMG Womens PGA Championship for her first major title, and successfully defended her Cambia Portland Classic title in early July.Shes not afraid to be out in front, veteran Canadian player Lorie Kane said. I truly respect the way she plays in that shes accepting of what happens and she moves past it. Ive had enough time to play with her to see shes got all kinds of game. She swings a very big driver a very long way and Im extremely proud of her.Ko was second last week in the Rio Olympics, five strokes behind winner Inbee Park.Its definitely a quick turnaround, but this is one of our best tournaments on our tour schedule, so even the girls that were in Rio I think were all excited to be here, Ko said. Last week, the course was a little bit like sand belt with a little bit of British flair. This is a bit more traditional. ... Its firm and fast. Last week, we were wearing shorts. This week, were wearing sweaters.Henderson tied for seventh in Rio.Rio was kind of just a sixth major on the LPGA Tour, Henderson said. Of course, there was lots of other things going on. ... It was cool, but the end of the day it was just four rounds of golf, regular stroke play individual that we do every single week, playing against the same players we play against every week.Ko and Henderson are on opposite sides of the draw. Ko will open play Thursday morning on the 10th tee with Jessica Korda and Sei Young Kim, and Henderson will start on No. 1 in the afternoon with Gerina Piller and Amy Yang.Kane, at 51, is making her record-tying 26th straight appearance in the event. The four-time LPGA Tour winner was inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame on Tuesday night.Im proud of myself. Ive accomplished some things that I never thought would have been possible, Kane said. To think in 20 years what I have achieved -- the four wins? It took me a long time to win the first one and then the next three came pretty quickly after that.Kane will match the tournament record for consecutive starts set by Hollis Stacy.Suzann Pettersen won the 2009 tournament at Priddis Greens.The tour will remain in Canada next week for the Manulife LPGA Classic in Cambridge, Ontario, with Pettersen the defending champion.

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Eight years ago, Washington walked off the field at Martin Stadium engulfed in a sea of crimson, its football program at the lowest point in its history.When they left that same field on Friday night, the Huskies were passing the Apple Cup trophy like a baton -- from teammate to teammate -- hoping its the first of a few trophies to be celebrated this year.Next up, perhaps a Pac-12 championship trophy. And after that, who knows what kind of hardware will be at stake for No. 6 Washington.I think the really good teams, the special teams can finish, Washington coach Chris Petersen said. The hard part about that is youre playing better teams here as we finish. And so the next team well play will be a really good and elite team. So its hard to finish, and then the one after that will be a really good team. Well figure all this out after were done playing, because we just feel like weve got some good football left.Washingtons dominant 45-17 win over No. 23 Washington State on Friday was complete affirmation of what Petersen has accomplished in three seasons in charge of the Huskies. More than just the Apple Cup and bragging rights within the state were at stake. A loss to the Cougars would have left Washington (11-1, 8-1 Pac-12) out of the Pac-12 title game and out of the College Football Playoff.It was a game of enormous magnitude. And its importance was seemingly met with a collective shrug by the Huskies, who rolled to a 28-3 lead in just 14 minutes, 37 seconds, and simply overwhelmed Washington State.It all comes back to the details that coach (Petersen) preaches. Just comes back to practice and how we study our opponents, all of that, Washington left tackle Trey Adams said.Washingtons first reward is a spot in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday against Colorado. Colorado was probably the preferred opponent, but Washington will miss out on a chance at revenge against Southern California after losing to the Trojans 26-13 this month.Its the reward waiting after next Friday that looms as being the ultimate statement of how far the Huskkies have climbed since that 0-12 season in 2008.dddddddddddd That lost season was punctuated by a loss to a Washington State team that finished 2-10.A win next Friday should put the Huskies into the CFP final four and a shot at the schools first national title since the Huskies were co-champs with Miami in 1991.I really dont care. Whoever we play, it will be awesome. Itll be a great game and great experience, Washington WR John Ross said.The loss to USC appeared to expose flaws hidden by Washingtons soft schedule through the first three quarters of the season. The pass rush disappeared. Quarterback Jake Browning was flustered and made careless mistakes. The 13 points Washington scored against the Trojans were the fewest in 21 games.This is why the last two games -- a blowout of Arizona State and the romp over Washington State -- eased those concerns and made the slog against USC appear as the outlier.Browning rediscovered the form that had him in the Heisman Trophy conversation earlier this season. He was 13 of 17 for 202 yards and three touchdowns in the first quarter alone Friday, and finished 21 of 29 for 292 yards. He has 40 TD passes for the season, joining Jared Goff and Marcus Mariota as the only Pac-12 QBs with 40 or more TD passes in a season.Equally important is a defense that stymied Arizona State, then held Washington State to its lowest output of points and yards since last years Apple Cup when quarterback Luke Falk was injured and didnt play. Washington made a trio of goal line stands and held the Cougars to a season-low 334 yards.It means a lot, but at the end of the day its about us. We didnt listen to the outside noise. We didnt let it leak into our locker room, Washington running back Lavon Coleman said. We were focused on getting ready to play a championship game with championship effort and take care of our business.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
