LPGA
Yuna Nishimura shot 63 to lead the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship by one over Yu Liu after a birdie, eagle finish. 99 of 144 players broke par at Pinnacle. Charley Hull and Celine Boutier shot 65, Lottie Woad 66, and all eight European Solheim Cup players are under par.
The numbers
Why the U.S. got swept, per Golf Channel: the Internationals gained more than six strokes putting, eight of the nine worst putters on the day were American, and the U.S. won one non par 4 hole all day. Par 3s went 6-0 to the visitors.
The captain
Snedeker paired Justin Thomas with Cameron Young without a practice round together; Thomas lost nearly two and a half strokes putting and they went down 3 and 2. It might not have been the right decision, Snedeker said, but it seemed like it at the time.
