Lexi Thompson stayed calm on the 17th to roll in the par putt that beat Emily Pedersen and ensure the Solheim Cup ended all square
Lexi Thompson made an impressive start to her debut appearance on the PGA Tour at Shriners Children's Open and was one-over par before the end of the opening round was suspended due to darkness. Thompson, an 11-time winner on the LPGA Tour, became just the seventh women to play on the PGA Tour and the first in five years at the event at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas after receiving a sponsors' initiation to compete.
'Thompson, who is hoping to inspire other female golfers and has said that making the cut would be 'at the top of my accomplishments', added: 'It's been great so far this whole week. Everybody has been so welcoming and just a huge honour just to be able to tee it up here.'There's more to it than just golf. Shriners does amazing things for these kids, so I'm happy to be out here and supporting them in any way I can.
