Henderson, who claimed her first LPGA Tour win a year ago in Portland, was at 13-under 203 heading into the final round. Norway’s Suzann Pettersen, tied for the lead with Henderson after the second round, faded to 9-under following a 74. Pettersen has history in Portland, rallying during the final round to win the 2011 and 2013 tournaments. Henderson, from Smiths Falls, Ont., continued her mastery of Columbia Edgewater Country Club, shooting a 70 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into Sunday’s final round of the Cambia Portland Classic. Henderson said the golf course “has changed so much since Friday morning … it’s so firm and fast right now.” But Henderson says she doesn’t plan to dramatically alter her strategy for Sunday’s final round.
