ROGERS, Ark. (AP) — LPGA Tour rookie Hae Ran Ryu shot another bogey-free 7-under 64 to push her lead to two strokes Saturday in the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, leaving Lexi Thompson six strokes back with a round left.Ryu played her final nine at Pinnacle Country Club in 5-under 31 with birdies on Nos. 3-6 and 9. Seeking her first LPGA Tour victory, the 22-year-old South Korean player was the LPGA Q-Series medalist last year.“It’s more confidence … that I can make so many birdies,” Ryu said. “This week my shot is so perfect.”A stroke back after an opening 65, Thompson had just two birdies in a bogey-free 69 that left her tied for 11th at 8 under. Winless since June 2019, the 11-time LPGA Tour winner is 138th in the Race to CME Globe and in danger of losing her tour card for 2024 without taking a career money exemption.Thompson is on the leaderboard after going 3-1 in Spain last week in the United States’ tie that left the cup in Europe’s hands.Fellow tour rookie Yuna Nish...La Tech player caught stomping on opponent during UTEP game is suspended indefinitely by school
