Canadian golfer Brooke Henderson shares the lead at the CPKC Women’s Open after a stellar third-round performance, shooting a 6-under 65 that included an eagle from a greenside bunker on the 17th hole. Henderson, the 2018 champion and winner of 13 LPGA Tour titles, is tied at 11-under with Australia’s Minjee Lee, who also eagled the 17th and carded a 65 with several impressive chip-ins. Despite a slow start on Thursday, Henderson fought back with solid rounds, buoyed by enthusiastic home support. Other contenders include Akie Iwai and World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul, both at 8-under, with Thitikul making her first start since ascending to the top world ranking. Fifteen-year-old Canadian amateur Aphrodite Deng is also notable, sitting at 6-under after consistent play. The final round promises a competitive finish as Henderson aims for her second CPKC Women’s Open title, building on a challenging year with a strong weekend showing.
