WEST CALDWELL, N.J. – Buoyed by a lesson and blessing from 94-year-old Shirley Spork, Brooke Henderson is in contention for the second consecutive week on the LPGA.
Spork, one of the LPGA’s 13 original members, is also the founder of the organization's Teaching and Club Professional division. Spork is a lifelong instructor, who connected with Henderson on the practice putting green at the Cognizant Founders Cup on Thursday.
Henderson opened with rounds of 67-70 to put herself in contention heading into the weekend.
“I hit some really good putts that didn't fall on my front nine for sure,” Henderson said Friday.
