Japan's Yuna Nishimura was 81st in the Race to the CME Globe standings before a tie for third in Arkansas on Sunday boosted her to 61st. For many it will be a last chance to make the 60-player field for the season-ending Tour Championship and for others a battle to retain their LPGA membership. The tournament is the penultimate full-field event of the season. But she hopes the rest, including a week off last week, will have her in top condition to build on her latest LPGA runner-up finish in Cincinnati last month, when she lost to Australian Minjee Lee in a playoff. Hull said sitting out matches was hard for her, as was foregoing practice. Had to almost change my swing to swing that week, so then I didn't hit it very well.' 'If that was a normal event I wouldn't have played because I would've had to pull out. 'I found it quite a hard week because I just didn't feel like I could play the way I wanted to because of my neck,' she said. It has also included a Solheim Cup triumph, although Hull said she didn't play as big a role as she might have liked in Europe's come from behind victory over the United States in Spain because of a neck sprain. 'Obviously two in the majors,' added Hull, who was runner-up at the British and US Opens. I think I've had five second-place finishes this year, one on the LET and the rest on the LPGA Tour. 'Felt like it gave me good momentum,' she said. England's Hull said her victory at The Colony near Dallas last year was the springboard to a solid 2023 season that is so far missing just one thing - a victory.

Just one thing
