Brooke Henderson. / AFP LOS ANGELES– Canadian Brooke Henderson birdied her last two holes Friday to join Sweden’s Caroline Hedwall atop the leaderboard at the LPGA Marathon Classic in Ohio.

“To finish birdie-birdie was really important, and it’s fun to see your name at the top,” said Henderson, who had five birdies without a bogey in a five-under-par 66.

Hedwall had five birdies and a bogey in her 67 for nine-under par 133.

The pair were one stroke in front of overnight leader Thidapa Suwannapura of Thailand, who carded a second-round 69 at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania.

Americans Emma Talley and Jacqui Concolino and South Korean Chun In-gee shared fourth on 135.

Henderson is seeking her second title of the year and the seventh of her LPGA career.

“I’m excited to be in the final group,” said the 20-year-old from Ontario. “I haven’t been in one of those in a couple weeks and it’s just a really fun feeling … hopefully (I’ll) just give myself a lot of great looks at birdie and hopefully make them.”

Hedwall, 29, is seeking a first LPGA title, to go with eight international victories.
