Henderson, 17, eyes history at Swinging Skirts

DALY CITY, Calif. – Brooke Henderson is chasing history.

The thing is ... history’s chasing her, too.

The 17-year-old Henderson will tee it up Sunday at the Swinging Skirts Classic looking to become just the third player to win an LPGA event before her 18th birthday. To join that exclusive club, however, she will have to hold off a couple players who know all about setting records at a young age.

Henderson kept herself atop the leaderboard going into Sunday’s final round after shooting an even-par 72 Saturday despite closing her round with back-to-back bogeys at Lake Merced Golf Club.
