Buhai finishes strong, takes lead on LPGA Tour
Atthaya Thitikul’s reign atop the LPGA Tour is under threat as Ashleigh Buhai produced a stellar performance to take the lead in the final round of the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Buhai, the major winner from South Africa, carded a bogey-free seven-under-par 64 at Pinnacle Country Club to move one shot clear of Thitikul and American Lexi Thompson heading into the final day. Buhai, ranked 20th in the world, has made seven birdies, including four in a row on the back nine, to surge ahead of the field. Thitikul, 19, shot a 67 and will be looking to maintain her position at the summit of the rankings when she tees off in the final group alongside Buhai.
