LET & LPGA in France, Amundi Evian Championship 2022, Évian-les-Bains, 21-24th July
Day Two: Brooke Henderson three strokes ahead
From LET Blog, 22/7/22:
Canada’s Brooke Henderson picked up where she left off by firing her second straight 64 on Friday to lead the Amundi Evian Championship by three strokes over American Nelly Korda.
The 24-year-old from Smiths Falls, Ontario, carded eight birdies and only one bogey at the Evian Resort Golf Club, starting strongly by sinking a birdie putt from more than 30 feet on the first hole and adding a second birdie on the next hole.
Although she bogeyed the third, a hot putter helped her to make birdie putts on the ninth, 11th and 12th holes, before she closed with three straight birdies to finish on a 36-hole total of 128, 14-under-par. Read more

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France -- Brooke Henderson is setting the pace in record-breaking style at the Evian Championship.
The Canadian player shot a second straight 7-under 64 on Friday to take a 3-stroke lead after the second round of the fourth major of the year.
She is the first player in the history of the U.S. LPGA to begin a major with two rounds of 64 or lower. Read more
From France 24, by AFP:
Brooke Henderson birdied the final three holes for a second successive 64 and soared into a three-shot lead at the halfway stage of the Evian Championship on Friday.
Chasing a second major to sit alongside the 2016 Women's PGA Championship, the 24-year-old Canadian finished on 14 under par and three ahead of Nelly Korda.
Korda, the former world number one on the road back from a blood clot in her arm, also had a sparkling finish to a 67.
She birdied the 17th from six feet and then eagled the last, hitting her hybrid second to inside three feet. Read more
From TSN, by Bob Weeks:
Brooke Henderson is playing crêpes golf at the Amundi Evian Championship in France this week.
Through two rounds, the Canadian golfer leads the LPGA Tour’s fourth major of the season by three shots after a second consecutive round of 64 on Friday.
The reason for her fast start?
"I've been having a lot of crêpes in France," she said, a smirk punctuating her comment. "To keep the momentum going, I'd better have some more.”
As she did in the opening round, Henderson got off to a fast start, making birdies on her first two holes. She bookended the day well, closing out her round with birdies on the last three holes as well. Read more
