LPGA CME Group Tour Championship leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/leaderboard
With an improved -3 69 -2 total Brooke Henderson has moved into the T25 in this CME Group Tour Championship and into the #2 spot in the Race to CME Globe.
Starting on the back nine she posted 4 birdies and a bogey on her way to 33 and had one of each coming in for 36. She is driving superbly hitting 13/14 fairways again, and her iron play improved to 14/18 greens in regulation with 29 putts.
She is off at 9.03 Saturday morning.
With a -1 71 141 total Ariya Jutanugarn has regained the #1 spot after Nasa Hataoka slipped to #4 with her +4 76. Minjee Lee is at #3 while Sung Hyun Park remains at #5.
Anyone of them will win the Race to CME Globe if they win the Tour Championship.
Meanwhile leading the Tour Championship is a rejuvenated Lexi Thompson who was 18/18 in greens in regulation on her way to -5 67 -12 total good for a three shot lead over Amy Olson (72) and Brittany Lincicome (71) who led for most of the day until a late collapse with a double and two bogey's in her last 4 holes.
Thompson who is only 23, has taken a leave of absence this year citing mental fatigue which is not surprising since she has been playing on tour since she was 17 with all the pressures and behaviour expected of an adult. She like other young prodigies never had a chance to live a normal teenage life.
"I’m definitely having a lot of fun. I know that whether I play good or bad, I have my family friends and fans out here.”
Nelly Korda (67) and Marina Alex (67) are at 136 with Charley Hull (68), Carlota Ciganda (71) and Pannarat Thanapolboonyaras (70) at 137.
