Japan's Sakura Yokomine leads LPGA Taiwan Championship (The Associated Press)

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) -- Sakura Yokomine bogeyed the final hole for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke lead over Brooke Henderson, Paula Creamer and Amy Yang on Thursday in the LPGA Taiwan Championship.

Yokomine eagled the par-5 12th and had three back-nine birdies at windy Miramar before dropping the stroke on the par-5 18th in the second of six events on the tour's Asian Swing. The 30-year-old Japanese player is winless in two seasons on the LPGA Tour after winning 23 times on the Japan LPGA Tour.

Henderson birdied three of the final four holes, playing in the last group of the day.
