Canada's Brooke Henderson is determined to finish the Tokyo Olympics on a high note.
The product of Smiths Falls, Ont., shot a 71 to stay at par on Friday in women's golf at the Summer Games. Henderson had hoped to gain ground on leader Nelly Korda of the United States in the third round, but instead sits in a four-way tie for 40th.
Korda also shot 69 to move to 15 under overall and holds a three-stroke lead over India's Aditi Ashok . New Zealand's Lydia Ko , Australia's Hannah Green , Denmark's Emily Kristine Pedersen , and Japan's Mone Inami are tied for third at 10 under. "She's holding up pretty well. She drinks more water than I do, so I'm trying to keep up with her," said Sharp of Bowman. "I think the bag is heavy and it's hot, but it helps when I make birdies and make it a little lighter for her."
Sharp had her three bogeys balanced out by five birdies, including back-to-back scores on her final two holes, Nos. 8 and 9.
