Canadian Brooke Henderson went from complete control of her game for two days to having to scratch out a good score Saturday
After a pedestrian stretch of golf early on her second nine that included a bogey at the par-4 12th — only her second bogey of the week — Henderson managed to slide in a 30-foot curler for birdie from the left side of the 16th green.
Henderson started the day with a four-shot advantage and stretched the lead to five by the time she made the turn. Then came the bogey at 12, and with Hataoka and Korda closing fast over the final holes, the tournament was back on again. Hataoka, a six-time winner on tour, was the hottest player on the course, making birdies on seven of her final 10 holes, posting a back-nine 30 and signing for a 66 that left her in position to try to chase down Henderson on Sunday.Article content
Korda’s key for Sunday? For one, she needs to get off to a better start. In all three rounds she struggled to make birdies on the front nine.
