After starting on the back nine, the 17-year-old overcame a
slow start where she bogeyed her second hole to come home with a
five-under par 67 for an 11-under, 36-hole total.
She has a one stroke lead over German Caroline Masson, who
enjoyed the best round of the day, a bogey-free eight-under 64,
at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club.
South Korean Jenny Shin, Candie Kung of Taiwan and Julieta
Granada of Paraguay are at nine-under. Kung had a second-round
66, two better than Shin, while Granada shot a 69.
Henderson is not yet an LPGA member because she is under the
Tour’s minimum age of 18. She has been forced to go through
Monday qualifies or gain a sponsor’s exemption for tournaments.
Henderson finished third at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic in
San Francisco in April, tied for fifth at both the PGA
Championship and U.S. Open and is ranked 32nd in the world.
