Portland (AFP) - Canadian teen Brooke Henderson fired a seven-under par 65 Saturday to set a 54-hole tournament record and grab a five-shot lead after three rounds at the LPGA Portland Classic.

Henderson, who turns 18 next month, is not yet a member of the LPGA Tour but showed a veteran's poise in a bogey-free round that saw her finish on 18-under 198.
