Henderson, Sharp overtaken for lead at LGPA Tour team event
B.C.'s Nick Taylor 1 shot back in PGA's Barbasol Championship
Morgan Pressel and Paula Creamer shot a best-ball 6-under 64 on for a share of the second-round lead in the first-year team event.
"Would have liked to make a few more birdies," Henderson said. "I feel like it's very unusual that we have a better score alternate shot than in best ball."
Stephanie Meadow and Giulia Molinaro had a 61, and Frenchwomen Celine Boutier and Karine Icher shot 62 to match Pressel and Creamer at 10-under 130 at Midland Country Club. The teams will play alternate shot Friday and close Saturday with a best-ball round.
"You have two balls in play, you can play much more aggressively," Pressel said. "I know I certainly could play aggressively knowing my partner had my back the whole way around."

Canada's Nick Taylor sits 2nd at Barbasol
J.T. Poston tied the course record with a 10-under-par 62 to grab the first-round lead in the Barbasol Championship at Nicholasville, Ky.
Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., was one shot back at 9 under after an eagle and seven birdies in a bogey-free round.
"I hit every green, I didn't miss a fairway, so it was very solid tee to green and putts were going in," Taylor said. "Everything was kind of clicking today. With the soft conditions, it was different than the practice rounds. I thought it would be a little bit more difficult, and then that rain came in last night and definitely softened things up. "
David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., was in a tie for 40th at 3-under 69. Ben Silverman of Thornhill, Ont., was tied for 57th at 2-under 70. Adam Svensson of Surrey, B.C., was tied for 92nd at even par, while Mike Weir of Bright's Grove, Ont., was tied for 127th at 4-over 76.
