Canada's Henderson, top-ranked Korda both one shot back in Chevron Championship

Canada's Brooke Henderson rocketed up the leaderboard and into a tie for second, being one shot off the lead at the Chevron Championship when the third round was suspended Saturday because of lightning in The Woodlands area, in Texas.

The of Smiths Falls, Ont., native, who was at 2-under 142 through two rounds, shot an 8-under 59 through 17 holes on Saturday. The 26-year-old Henderson is tied with American Nelly Korda, both behind leader Atthaya Thitikul of Thailand.

Play at Carlton Woods was halted just before 3 p.m. and called for the day 2 1/2 hours later with dangerous conditions remaining. The third round of the LPGA's first major of the season will resume Sunday morning, with the final round scheduled to commence just before 9:30 a.m.

"It was on six when I made that par save," Henderson said. "It really kept my round alive, and then from there I was able to get things going. It was really fun to kind of get on a bit of a run.

"I feel like this year I've just played pretty solid, but I haven't really seen that run and kind of had that excitement. That was really fun for me today, and hopefully just do something similar [Sunday]."

Henderson, who has 13 LPGA wins with two majors, had a one-putt streak of 10 with six birdies and an eagle in that stretch.

"Anytime my putter gets to working, I'm pretty happy because ball-striking is usually a strength of mine," she said. "This week I've been hitting it really well, so when I've been able to make a few putts, it feels really good, and hopefully keep it hot tomorrow."
