Brooke Henderson steers new putting grip to lead at Amundi Evian Championship

Brooke Henderson is off to her best start in a major this year thanks to her new putting grip.

The Canadian opened with a bogey-free, 7-under 64 at the Amundi Evian Championship after switching to a left-hand low putting style in June.

It’s the first time in 12 months that Henderson has opened with a sub-70 round in one of the five major championships due to struggles with her short game for the better part of two years.

“It's a really great feeling to start the major championship with a solid round. I feel like I haven't really done that this year, so feels good to get one here,” said Henderson, who is looking to crack the top 10 in a major for the first time this year.
