GURNEE, Ill. (AP) -- Lexi Thompson and Cristie Kerr helped the United States rebound on Friday in the UL International Crown, and Melissa Reid drew kudos for a gutsy effort while playing alone for England after her partner was sidelined by an illness.
Thompson and Kerr routed Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn and Porani Chutichai 4 and 3 for the Americans' first two points after they were shut out in the first session of the LPGA event. The United States almost had a sweep, but Gerina Piller and Stacy Lewis each missed a birdie putt on 18, which halved their match against Moriya Jutanugarn and Pornanong Phatlum.
