LOS ANGELES: Jenny Coleman
(pix) pulled off the upset of the day at the LPGA Match-Play Wednesday, knocking off world No. 5 Brooke Henderson 1-up to open round-robin play at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Canada’s Henderson, a 10-time winner on the LPGA tour, got off to a hot start, taking a 3-up lead with birdies at the first three holes.
But Coleman pulled a hole back with a birdie at the fifth, won the 10th with a bogey and squared the match with a birdie to take the 11th hole.
She kept her nerve after Henderson again edged ahead at 13 – where the Canadian’s bogey beat Coleman’s double bogey – nabbing birdies at the par-five 14th and 16th to take the lead.
