Canada's Henderson near ShopRite lead after 68

Brooke Henderson put herself in early contention in another LPGA event Friday.

With her older sister, Brittany, toting her bag as caddie, Brooke opened the ShopRite Classic with a 3-under-par 68, putting her among the top five finishing the morning wave.

Brooke, 17, is making her fifth LPGA start as a non-member this season, her third on a sponsor exemption. She finished third at the Swinging Skirts Classic.

“I think my game is right there,” Henderson said of trying to earn LPGA membership. “I just need to get a little more consistent throughout my game and just keep it going.
