Nelly Korda keen to stay positive at PGA Championship despite recent missed cuts
Nelly Korda has shrugged off her recent dip in form as she bids to get back to winning ways at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship this week. The world number one enjoyed a stunning run of success earlier this year with six victories in the space of seven starts, including a second major title at the Chevron Championship in April. That run came to an abrupt halt as she missed the cut at last month’s US Women’s Open and she also failed to make the weekend at the LPGA Meijer Classic last week. Story by Andy Hampson, Pa

Suwannapura Pulls Away From Playoff Victorious at Walmart NW Arkansas Championship
In dramatic fashion at Pinnacle Country Club, Jasmine Suwannapura earned her third career LPGA Tour victory at the 2024 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G after making an eagle on the second extra hole to win in a playoff over Lucy Li. The duo shot rounds of 61 and 60, respectively, on Sunday at Pinnacle Country Club to land in a tie for first place at 17-under. Teeing off in the ninth-to-last group and beginning her day in a tie for 25th, Li started her record-breaking round with a birdie on No.1. She carded two bogeys in the next three holes after a pair of three-putts to drop two shots. But in her next seven holes, the 2023 rookie went on a tear, carding five birdies and an eagle on the par-4 8th hole to jump to 12-under par and take the lead. With seven holes remaining, Li made eagles on the last two par 5s (holes 14 and 18) and a birdie on No. 15 to break the 18-hole tournament scoring record and best her career-low 18-hole score by four shots.

Epson Tour Graduate Lucy Li Finishes Runner-Up in Arkansas After Final-Round 60
 Even though she didn’t pull out her first career LPGA Tour victory at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship presented by P&G, Lucy Li is proud of the fight she put up on Sunday in Rogers, Ark. Li began the final round in a tie for 25th at 6-under overall and blitzed Pinnacle Country Club on day three, carding an 11-under 60 to finish at 17-under and vault into a playoff with LPGA Tour winner Jasmine Suwannapura. She ultimately lost to the Thailand native on the second extra hole after Suwannapura eagled 18, but Li couldn’t have been more pleased to have a shot at winning in the first place, particularly considering how she started her round.
