Thompson follows resurgent week at Solheim Cup with strong start in Arkansas

ROGERS, Ark. (AP) — Lexi Thompson followed a resurgent week at the Solheim Cup with a strong start in the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.

After going 3-1 in Spain in the United States' tie that left the cup in Europe's hands, Thompson shot a 6-under 65 on Friday at Pinnacle Country Club. She was a stroke behind leader Hae Ran Ryu on the crowded leaderboard.

Thompson is No. 138 in the Race to CME Globe and in danger of losing her LPGA Tour card for 2024 without taking a career money exemption. She has 11 tour victories, the last coming in the 2019 ShopRite LPGA Classic. “Before this tournament I go back to Korea and I practise a lot of shots with my coach,” Ryu said. “I got more confidence in my shot.”

Lydia Ko also was at 65 with Yuka Saso, Kelly Tan, Christina Kim, Hannah Green, Olivia Cowan, Jenny Shin and Nicole Broch Estrup.
