Lexi Thompson (USA), who attended the US Women’s Open press conference held at the Lancaster Country Club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA on the 29th, said this with tears in her eyes. “Golf has been my life since I was five years old,” said Thompson, who bid her farewell to the tournament where his golfing career began 17 years ago. I learned a lot and built many friendships and relationships through golf. “It’s an amazing life,” he said, looking back on his career as a player. 메이저사이트
Thompson, a long hitter representing the LPGA Tour, officially announced her retirement at the age of 29. Thompson announced at a press conference that day, “We will conclude our full-time schedule at the end of this year.” Making her Tour debut in 2012, Thompson has 11 career wins on Tour, including her first major win (2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship and current Chevron Championship).
Thompson, whose two older brothers are also golf players, passed the preliminaries at the age of 12 in 2007, setting the record for the youngest player to participate in the U.S. Women’s Open at the time (currently second place). After turning pro, he set the record for being the youngest winner on tour at the time (16 years, 7 months, 8 days, currently ranked 2nd) at the 2011 Nabistar LPGA Classic. The LPGA Tour said on its website that day, “Thompson was one of golf’s original teenage superstars.” Thompson, who possesses so much power that he flew 359 yards (approximately 328 meters) with a drive in a tournament in 2016, also has experience participating in the PGA Tour tournament last year. He also competed in the Olympics twice (Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Tokyo in 2021). 슬롯사이트
Thompson, who once rose to second place in the women’s golf world rankings, gradually went downhill after winning the Shoprite LPGA Classic in June 2019. She suffered from a hand injury and missed the cut four times in six competitions this year without winning. “Unfortunately, in golf there are more losses than wins,” Thompson said that day. She also complained about her mental pressure, saying, “She works hard in front of the camera, but doesn’t get the results she wants and gets criticized.”
To her domestic fans, she is talked about as the scene where she lost the championship to So-yeon Ryu after a close overtime match, receiving a 4-stroke penalty for putting the ball down closer to the hole than the mark on the green during the 2017 ANA Inspiration (now Chevron Championship). . “I learned a lot and her fans grew,” Thompson said. “It was one of the hardest yet most blessing moments of my career,” she recalled. 토토사이트 순위
