THE COLONY, TEXAS - OCTOBER 08: Lexi Thompson of the United States plays her shot from the 17th tee during the final round of The Ascendant LPGA benefiting Volunteers of America at Old American Golf Club on October 08, 2023 in The Colony, Texas. When Lexi Thompson got the call a few weeks ago, she didn’t hesitate.
"It was such an exciting feeling," Thompson said from TPC Summerlin on Tuesday."I got the news two Sundays ago right after I played at , so it was kind of surreal. I was just letting that round soak in and have a good round under my belt and got that news. I'm like, right, this is all just exciting."
Thompson has been one of the most recognizable and most successful players on the LPGA Tour since she first played in the U.S. Women’s Open when she was just 12 years old. She turned professional at 15, and then grabbed her first career win a year later — which made her the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history at the time.
