AP..Brooke Henderson is too young for LPGA Tour membership. She’s good enough to top the leaderboard ..again.
Henderson shot a -6 65 in the North Texas Shootout, giving the 17-year-old Canadian the lead going into the weekend for the second straight week on the LPGA Tour after she.had a bogey-free round to reach -8 134 total at Las Colinas, a stroke ahead of 2013 winner Inbee Park and 54-year-old Juli Inkster.
Denied a waiver to the LPGA Tour’s minimum-age requirement of 18 last year, Henderson earned the last spot in the field Tuesday in a playoff in the qualifier. Last week in California in the Swinging Skirts, she led after the second and third rounds, but fell a stroke short of a playoff that Lydia Ko won over Morgan Pressel
Park had a 66, and Inkster shot 69 while Lexi Thompson, Mi Hyang Lee, Hee Young Park and Karine Icher were tied for fourth at -6
Lydia Ko rallied Friday to push her career-long cuts streak to 51, following her opening 75 with a 68 to make it on the number at 1-over 143. The 18-year-old New Zealander was tied for 62nd
Alena Sharp of Hamilton, Ont., has a share of 12th. She’s -4 four-shots off the lead, after a 71, while Paula Creamer withdrew after shooting par Thursday, citing personal reasons.
