Brooke Henderson has plenty of work to do to get herself onto the podium in France — and her job got much more difficult after finding water on the 18th hole of her second round.

One day after saving her opening round with an eagle at the par-5 closing hole at Le Golf National, the Canadian star sailed her second shot over the green and into the water hazard on Thursday, finishing her day with a bogey to shoot a one-over par 73 and head to the weekend at three-over par, 11 strokes back of the lead.

At the top of the leaderboard through two rounds at Le Golf National is Swiss golfer Morgane Metraux.{ai:summary}<p>Brooke Henderson is staring down a hefty challenge at Le Golf National, a venue that seems to have it in for her.
