Here’s what a 63 will do for you: Lydia Ko’s final-round score in the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship propelled her to a tie for sixth in Arkansas and at the same time gave her some momentum heading into two majors and an important time in the Race to the CME Globe competition.

Inbee Park holds a 437-point lead in the season-long competition, 100 points less of a lead over Ko than last week.

However, two majors are on the schedule over the next four tournaments. Normally, first place provides 500 points, but majors give 25 percent more, with 625 going to the winner of the July 9-12 U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster (Pa.) Country Club. Then, the Ricoh Women’s British Open July 30-Aug. 2 will have a 625-point first-place prize.

Sixteen tournaments have been completed in the second season of the Race to the CME Globe. The top three seeds entering November’s CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Fla., can win it all. The top nine have a chance to capture the season-long title with a victory and help from those ahead of them.

The Race to the CME Globe is a season-long points competition in which LPGA Members accumulate points in every Official LPGA Tournament. At the end of the season, the winning player will be named the “Race to the CME Globe Champion.” The competition began at the Coates Golf Championship, continues through the Lorena Ochoa Invitational Presented by Banamex in Mexico and concludes with a points reset for the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida the week before Thanksgiving.
