LPGA Tour Lotte Championship leaderboard http://www.lpga.com/tournaments/lotte-championship-presented-by-hershey/leaderboard
Overnight, while we here in Toronto licked our wounds after the Leafs 5-1 shellacking by the Bruins in game 1 of their series, Brooke Henderson carried the Canadian flag with distinction and added another bogey free -6 66 to her opening 68, and she leads the Lotte Championship at -10 by 2 shots going into this weekend.
Playing in windy conditions at the Ko Olina GC on the island of Oahu, Henderson hasn't made a bogey in her two rounds, she has only used 26 and 24 putts and is bombing the ball over 290yds off the tee. Today she had 6 birdies, out in 32 back in 34, playing very early and starting on the 10th tee.
"Today was a lot of fun, I got off to a really fast start," said Henderson, who said she played more aggressively in round two after the fast start. "I made a lot of clutch par saves to keep the momentum and keep it bogey-free. I feel like I'm in a great spot and I'm hitting the ball really well and I can depend on my putting right now"
"The wind wasn't as strong early today and there were softer conditions. Fortunately it didn't rain too hard and it helped with the softness of the course. I've struggled early in the year with the putting so I'm thankful for my putter this week," explained Henderson, who finished T11 in Hawaii last year. "I'm seeing the lines and I'm really confident with my putter right now"
