(Reuters) - A sizzling career-low back-nine 29, that included a birdie-eagle finish, propelled South Korean Na Yeon Choi to the lead with 18 holes to play at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.

Her outstanding six-under back nine left her with an eight-under 63 for a tournament record 36-hole total of 13-under, two shots better than compatriot Mi Jung Hur, who shot 68 and is tied for second with Sweden's Anna Nordqvist (66).
