EDMONTON – Brooke Henderson has work to do, but runway to do it at the CPKC Women’s Open.

The defending champion from Smiths Falls, Ont., seeking a third career win in Canada’s LPGA tournament, shot a second-round 68 on Friday to sit 5-under par.

With two rounds to play, Henderson was four strokes back of clubhouse leader Soo Bin Joo of South Korea at 9 under at Edmonton’s Royal Mayfair Golf Club.

Henderson was 7 under before a pair of back-nine bogeys. Her second-last tee shot drifted left and struck a spectator. Henderson apologized to the woman and gave her a golf ball.

Calgary’s Aphrodite Deng, who was the tournament’s low amateur last year in Mississauga, Ont., capped her round with back-to-back birdies for a 67 to get to 3 under.

The top 65 players and ties make the cut at the US$2.75-million event. Canadian teenagers Anna Huang of Vancouver and Michelle Xing of Richmond Hill, Ont., who started the day three shots off the lead at 5 under, had afternoon tee times.
