May 1 (Reuters) - Canadian Brooke Henderson seized her second consecutive 36-hole lead after shooting a six-under 65 at the LPGA North Texas Shootout on Friday.
The 17-year-old, who is not a member of the LPGA and had to qualify to make the field, moved to eight-under for the tournament and leads South Korea's world number two Park In-bee and 54-year-old Juli Inkster by one shot.
Henderson also charged to the top of the leaderboard after two rounds at last week's Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic before eventually finishing third.
"I hit it great all day and I was able to make a few putts," Henderson told reporters as she vies to become the first Monday qualifier since Laurel Kean in 2000 to win an LPGA event.
