AIG Women's Open: Friday scoreboard here
Mother Nature has been in a kind mood as the late wave heads out on Friday at a partly sunny Carnoustie for this version of the AIG Women's Open, and Brooke Henderson who posted -1 71 with her late tee time on Thursday was out early this morning, in fine form as it turns out.
Four birdies and all pars in an outward nine of 32 saw her T6 at -5, and she was all pars through 15 holes on her back nine, but for the 2nd day she made a bogey at the par 3 16th to drop to T12 -4. She was on the back of the green at 17 right beside Lexi, but both made fine lags putts, for par 4's heading to the last.
Brooke had a great drive, her second was right on line, 20 feet short, 2 putts for her -3 69. T12 at -4 total
So it was a story of two nines, -4 on the front and +1 on the back, but Brooke did a great job today and at -3 is right in contention going into a rainy weekend.
Others in her group, Lexi Thompson shot 70 to finish at -5 and Yuka Saso shot 71 to finish at -5.
England's Georgia Hall is tied for the clubhouse lead 68 69 -7 as she vies for her 2nd Women's Open championship. Asian American Mina Harigae 70 67 -7 who has the low score of the day so far is tied with her.
Despite the fine weather apart from some early rain yesterday, Carnoustie looking in great condition, green with relatively light rough is still playing tough especially the last 4 holes which are playing a nearly 2 over par.
Rain but relatively light winds are in the forecast for the weekend, and you can follow all the late wave scoring on my scoreboard link above.
