Did I do the right thing to fix this broken Kerr

This tree broke off this winter. There was one branch left so I tied it up. Will this branch turn into the new central leader?

I dont think you had any other choice.What do the apple gurus think?
 
Should be fine. Monitor the upper portion of the old leader for a new bud pushing. If one does you can train it to be the new central leader if you prefer.
 
I would have tried the same thing not knowing really what to do.
 
Looks good to me and if anything a new shoot may come off of where you made your cut but that other branch looks like it will be the boss Nice work!!!
