The world of professional golf was abuzz last week as Lexi Thompson opened strong at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. This comes after an impressive performance at the Solheim Cup, where she was part of the victorious U.S. team.
Thompson, who is one of the most successful female golfers in the world, started her first round in Arkansas with a 4-under-par 67. She followed that up with a 5-under-par 66 in the second round, putting her in a tie for third place.
Thompson has been playing some of the best golf of her career this year. She won the Honda LPGA Thailand in February and has had several other top-10 finishes. Her performance at the Solheim Cup was particularly impressive, as she was the only American to go undefeated in singles play.
Thompson is now looking to continue her strong play in Arkansas. She is currently two shots behind the leader, and is in prime position to make a run at the title. If she can keep up her strong play, she could be looking at her fifth career LPGA Tour victory.
Thompson has been one of the most consistent players on the LPGA Tour for years, and her performance at the Solheim Cup showed that she is still one of the best players in the world. Her strong start in Arkansas is just another example of how she can dominate on the golf course. It will be exciting to see how she does over the next few days, and if she can come away with another victory.
