Hae Ran Ryu shot a final-round 66 to finish at 19-under par and win the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship by three shots over Linnea Strom. Ryu is the fifth rookie to win on the LPGA tour this year, and the 10th first time winner.
It is Ryder Cup week, this time from Rome Italy. Europe will be looking to bounce back after getting dominated by the U.S. in 2021, the U.S. winning 19-9.
According to our Power Rankings, both teams have their top-10 players all currently ranked in the top-100. This means pretty much all players are coming in to the matches in good form. It looks like for Europe to win it will be 14.5 – 13.5, but I will predict the U.S. will hold the cup after a 14-14 tie. Every point will be critical for both teams.
