  Rogers, Arkansas, the AP. Yuna Nishimura had a big finish to her
• 0:19
  front and back nines Friday for an eight under sixty three, that
• 0:22
  carried her to a one shot lead in the Walmart NW Arkansas
• 0:26
  Championship, as the LPGA Tour got back to its regular schedule following
• 0:29
  the Solheim Cup. Nishimura, a six-time winner on the Japan LPGA now
• 0:35
  in her fourth year on the LPGA tour, closed out the front
• 0:38
  nine at Pinnacle Country Club with three straight birdies. Even better was
• 0:41
  the finish, Birdie Eagle for a one-shot lead over Yu Liu. I
• 0:46
  really went for the last putt. I wanted to make it so
• 0:48
  I kind of went aggressively, and it went in. So I'm hoping
• 0:51
  it's going to continue tomorrow, Nishimura said. Europe once again had The
• 0:56
  upper hand among the Solheim Cup players, even if there won't be
• 0:59
  a score to settle for two more years. Celine Boutier and Charlie
• 1:03
  Hull each had a sixty five, while Lottie Woad had a sixty
• 1:06
  six. Then eight players from Europe's winning Solheim Cup team all broke
• 1:10
  par. Auston Kim and Andrea Lee had the top scores from the
• 1:14
  US team at sixty-seven. I feel like you're in bit of a
• 1:17
  down bit of a downer because obviously the adrenaline and then last
• 1:21
  week was a crash, Hull said. This week actually feels nice to
• 1:24
  come out on the golf course with not a whole load of
• 1:27
  nerves that the Solheim Cup produces. Hull also decided to change from
• 1:32
  blonde to brunette after the Solheim Cup, and she has gone from
• 1:35
  loving it to hating it to loving it again. I will go
• 1:39
  back to Blonde hopefully just after Christmas, she said. The tournament is
• 1:43
  one of two fifty-four-hole events on the LPGA schedule, leaving Saturday for
• 1:48
  Nishimura or anyone else to get some separation. There were twenty five
• 1:52
  players at sixty six or lower, and ninety nine players in the
• 1:55
  one hundred forty four player field broke par. See the AP's full
