Big Sundays for Brooke Henderson and David Hearn

LPGA CME Group Tour Championship leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/leaderboard

Lexi Thompson, Nelly Korda and Carlota Ciganda will be in today's final pairing at this CME Group Tour Championship. Lexi has a 3 shot lead over Nelly and 6 over Carlota at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples Florida. Through 54 holes Thompson has only missed 2 fairways she is driving so well.

However none of them can win the Race to CME Globe. It's between Ariya Jutanugarn who shot 69 yesterday for a T12, 210 total, and Brooke Henderson who also shot 69 to move to T16. The Thai star has a commanding 28 shot cushion, so is odds on favourite to win the CME Globe bonus of $1m and in fact to make a clean sweep of all the LPGA awards, including the Vare trophy for the lowest scoring average. She has already won Player of the Year.


PGA Tour RSM Classic leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2019/the-rsm-classic/leaderboard.html

Everyone's favourite golfer from Gilligan's Island Charles Howell III, the tour's ultimate grinder leads this RSM Classic after a 68 got him to -16 194 as he tries to end 332 starts on the PGA Tour without winning.

He has a one shot lead over red hot PGA Tour rookie Cameron Champ and Jason Gore, who each shot 66 and made up ground on the back nine of the Seaside course at Sea Island. Gore has been selling insurance since he packed up his pro golf career a few months ago.

However I'll be watching for nice guy David Hearn (67) who is having a great week so far, T7 at -11 under to be one of ten players within five shots of the lead. David has lost his full time playing privileges on the PGA Tour and is relying on sponsor exemptions for this season so a big Sunday could go a long way to resolving that.

Other Canucks: Ben Silverman (65) T32nd at -7. Corey Conners (70) is in a group T43rd at -6.  Roger Sloan (71) T75th at -1
