HENDERSON CLINGS TO SLIM LEAD

-

Brooke Henderson bogeyed the final two holes for a 4-under 67, leaving the 19-yearold Canadian with a two-stroke lead Friday in the Meijer LPGA Classic. Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., had seven birdies and three bogeys in the second round to reach 12-under 130 at Blythefiel­d. She had a onestroke lead Thursday after an opening 63. Fellow major champion Lexi Thompson, coming off a playoff loss to Ariya Jutanugarn on Sunday in Canada, followed her opening 64 with a 68 to join Carlota Ciganda (64) and Mi Jung Hur (66) at 10 under. Moriya Jutanugarn, Ariya’s older sister, was 9 under after a 66. Shanshan Feng (70) topped the group at 8-under. Ariya Jutanugarn, playing her first event as the No. 1 player in the world, was tied for 30th at 4 under. Lydia Ko, at No. 2 after an 85-week run at the top, was 6-under after a 71. Calgary’s Jennifer Ha (81, 2-over) missed the cut.
