CINCINNATI (AP) — Ruixin Liu of China was still suffering from allergies that forced her to withdraw from the LPGA Tour event last week. Liu said she still didn't have a clear head for the opening round in Cincinnati and has no idea why she played so well. Thompson is having her worst year on the LPGA Tour but still made the Solheim Cup team through the women's world ranking. The LPGA Tour is coming off a week that delivered one of the biggest surprises of the year. She is a six-time winner on the Futures Tour but has never finished in the top 10 on the LPGA Tour in individual play.
