CAMBRIDGE, Ontario, May 15 (Reuters) - New Zealand's Lydia Ko and American Lexi Thompson are simply known as Lydia and Lexi on the LPGA scene. No surnames are needed for the two young golf standouts.
Ko, 18, and Thompson, 20, both made history by winning LPGA events before their 18th birthday but that exclusive club could soon welcome a new member.
Canadian Brooke Henderson, who landed a sponsor's exemption into the June 11-14 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, sure hopes so. The 17-year-old wunderkind from Smiths Falls, Ontario, has already come close.
She held the 54-hole lead at last month's Swinging Skirts Classic in San Francisco and went on to finish third.
