Canadian Brooke Henderson is the star of the show after a second straight 66 left her a stroke behind leader Amy Yang at the LPGA CP Women's Open in Canada.
"Brooke is almost like Canada's Tiger Woods," Korea's Amy Park said after her second straight round with Henderson and Sweden's Anna Nordqvist at the course in Regina.
"I was really surprised at how many fans came out to support Brooke today. To witness that was pretty awesome."
Dozens of fans - many clad in red and white and waving small Canadian flags - let out a roar when Henderson chipped in on her opening hole.
"I hit the ball in good spots and made birdie putts when I had them," 20-year-old Henderson said.
"I feel like I made the most of today's round, which is always a great feeling. To be close to the top of the leaderboard heading into the weekend is awesome, especially when you're here in Canada."
Yang followed her opening 66 with a 65 to reach 13 under. The three-time LPGA Tour winner from South Korea birdied four of the first five holes and finished with nine birdies and two bogeys.
"I was hitting it pretty solid out there," Yang said. "But I gave myself a lot of good chances and I think I made most of them out there."
