WOMEN’S TOP 10
Top ranked Canadian Brooke Henderson maintained her No. 13 world ranking after finishing in a tie for 42nd at the LPGA TOTO Japan Classic. The result is an anomaly for Henderson, who had posted top 10 results in three of her last four starts. Of significance, Henderson is currently fourth in the Race to the CME Globe standings. With one tournament left to play, if she can maintain a top 5 standing, she will control her fate in the chase to win the $1-million CME Globe.
