Keeping her eyes on the prize — exempt status on the LPGA Tour — Canadian teen Brooke Henderson is making the most of her sponsor invites and Monday qualifiers. At last week’s major, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship (her seventh start this season on the LPGA), the 17-year-old fired an opening-round 67 and went on to finish T5. It was her second top 5. She will play in the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the Canadian Open. Her PING technology includes a G30 driver, fairway wood and hybrid, i25 irons, Glide wedges and a Scottsdale TR Craz-E putter.

2007 U.S. Open champion and 2009 Masters winner Angel Cabrera will vie for a third major trophy alongside notables Miguel Ángel Jiménez, Hunter Mahan, Louis Oosthuizen and Lee Westwood. Englishman Andy Sullivan, who has two victories on the European Tour this season, is playing in his first major by virtue of his top-60 world ranking. Sullivan will also play in the Open Championship later this summer.

Of special interest when the pairings were announced: Watson and Cabrera are paired together in the opening two rounds, teeing off at 7:33 a.m. and 1:33 p.m. (PDT), Thursday

and Friday. Horschel and Westwood are playing partners, going off at 2:17 p.m. and 8:17 a.m.

In addition to Sullivan, other PING pros playing in their first major include

Europeans Oliver Farr and Jason Palmer, and Web.com regulars Brandon Hagy and Stephan Jaeger.

FOWLER WINS 2ND STRAIGHT

Relying on a G30 driver and fairway wood, Australian Peter Fowler continued

his impressive run on the European Senior Tour on Sunday with a convincing three-shot victory at -12 for his second-straight win. He claimed his fourth title on the senior circuit at the ISPS Handa PGA Seniors Championship in England, one week after prevailing at the Acorn Jersey Open. In his last three events he has finished 1-1-T2.
