Teen sensations Henderson and Ko open with pars at Kingsmill


LPGA Tour Kingsmill Championship leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/kingsmill-championship/leaderboard

I think it's fair to say many of us have a fresh and welcome interest in this tour with the arrival of 17 year old Brooke Henderson and now 18 year old Lydia Ko along with 17 year old Charley Hull from England. Their sensational play has caught the golfing world's attention, and adding them to the mix of solid pro's like Stacy Lewis, Michelle Wie, Morgan Pressel, etal and the cuties like Paula Creamer and of course Natalie Gulbis (who cares if she can't play), not to forget the endless line of Asian stars and the usual plot has a new twist..

This week they are all down in Williamsburg in Virginia at a venue that used to be on the PGA Tour, the Kingsmill Championship, and the kids all opened with E 71's to trail the leader from France, Joanna Klatten who had five birdies in six holes for a -6 65.

Morgan Pressel, Alison Lee and Pat Hurst are at -5 66, while So Yeon Ryu, Paula Creamer, Jacqui Concolino and Perrine Delacour followed at 67. Michelle Wie withdrew because of a hip injury after a 78. Stacy Lewis shot -2 69
 
Pressel is one of the hottest players right now, she has two top-three finishes in her last four events. She was third in the ANA Inspiration and second in the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic.
 
Other Canadian scores Jennifer Kirby 72, Alena Sharp 73, Rebecca Lee Bentham 76, Sue Kim 77..
