Baltusrol challenges the LPGA on a Friday of high scoring...final leaderboard

 LPGA: KPMG Women's PGA Championship leaderboard here.

Baltusrol's (Lower) has been challenging the world's best since 1927 so this week is no different for the "KPMG Women's PGA Championship".

The par 71 Lower course has only yielded 5 shots to the leader, last week's winner, Ireland's Leona McGuire 69 68 -5 

Twice a major winner, including this one as an 18 year old in 2016, Brooke Henderson after a splendid opening -4 67 could only mange 1 birdie on Friday but slipped up with 4 bogey's' for a +3 74 -1 total.

However due to Baltusrol\s difficulty she is far from out of it, T8 just 4 shots off the lead heading into this weekend. 7 of the top 10 players shot par or worse. Only 15 players are under par, some of the LPGA biggest stars including Nelly Korda and Georgia Hall missed the cut at +5.

Maddie Szeryk found the vaunted course to tough and missed the cut 75 76 +9

WEATHER: Today will be a rainy day, albeit with little wind in Springfield NJ, so Mother Nature has a hand in the proceedings.
