Still No. 4, still chasing No. 1.

Lexi Thompson gets her frequent flier miles on this week as she tees it up after some time off.

All of the top six in the Rolex World Rankings are at the Honda LPGA Thailand and eight of the top 10 are at the Siam Country Club this week.

Thompson has been steady at her ranking all last season although things changed at the top when Shanshan Feng became the first Chinese player to rise to No. 1. South Koreans Sung Hyun Park and So Yeon Ryu are behind her at two and three.

Cristie Kerr’s play last year got her into the top 10 and she’s ninth this week and like Thompson, looking for her first win of the new season.
