Brooke Henderson drops lead in third round of LPGA season opener image

After shooting 10-under-par in the first two rounds to take a two-stroke lead in the Diamond Resort Tournament of Champions, Canadian Brooke Henderson now finds herself in third place at the end of round three. 

Henderson shot two-under-par on Saturday but was surpassed on the leaderboard by Korean Eun-Hee Ji, who shared the lead with Henderson after the first round, and Lydia Ko of New Zealand, who both shot five-under-par to take a one-stroke lead over Henderson. 

American Nelly Korda shot the low round on the day with a 65, which bumped her one stroke behind Henderson and into fourth place, from eighth at the beginning of the day. 

Henderson will look to retake the lead and start the season off with a win in the final round from Lake Buena Vista, Fla., on Sunday.
