LPGA Tour opener suspended for wind

-

Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., bogeyed the first hole to drop into a tie for the lead Friday before the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic was suspended for the day because of high winds. Sustained 50-55 km/h wind gusting to the low 60s hit the Ocean Club Golf Course and was forecast to continue through the afternoon, forcing officials to stop second-round play at 8:39 a.m. On Thursday, Henderson shot a bogey-free 5-under 68 in high wind to take a one-stroke lead in the seasonopen­ing tournament. The bogey on the par-4 first dropped the 20-year-old Canadian into a tie with Australia’s Sarah Jane Smith and Spanish rookie Luna Sobron Galmes.
