Brooke Henderson shot a 4-under 67 on Thursday, good for a 2-stroke
lead over In-Kyung Kim and Christina Kim after the first round of the
KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish,
Washington. The No. 4 player in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings,
Henderson used a 7-iron to record her first hole-in-one on the LPGA Tour
on the 152-yard 13th hole, her fourth hole of the day, after beginning
play on Hole No. 10. With the ace, Henderson won a 2016 Kia K900, which
she plans to donate to her older sister, Brittany, who is her caddy.
Henderson, 18, is in search of her first career major championship
victory this week at Sahalee. Meanwhile, Henderson broke through to win the Cambia Portland Classic with a Ping
Craz-E putter. She had the club in her bag for about 18 months before
switching to a Ping Vault Oslo mallet putter this week and posting a
4-under-par 67 to take the first-round lead. The Vault series is a new
line of putters Ping is debuting this week. And South Korea's favorite daughter Inbee Park became an active 10-year member of

of Fame, and 24th player to qualify. Share your picks for Sunday afternoon's leaderboard? And just whom will take home the winner's trophy with the Pro Golf Tour: http://progolftournaments.blogspot.com/
