Canadian Teen Brooke Henderson Opens 5-Shot Lead in Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. — Canadian teen Brooke Henderson opened a five-stroke lead Saturday in the Cambia Portland Classic, shooting a 7-under 65 at Columbia Edgewater.

The 17-year-old Henderson is trying to join Lydia Ko and Lexi Thompson as the only players to win an LPGA Tour title before turning 18.

On a warm, calm day, Henderson made seven birdies in her bogey-free round. Henderson, who turns 18 in September, tied the tournament 54-hole record of 18-under 198 set by Yani Tseng in 2013.

Morgan Pressel was second after a 65.

Henderson also had the 54-hole lead in April in California in the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic.
