Lexi Thompson demonstrated remarkable poise and skill, asserting herself as one of golf’s brightest young stars at just 19 years old. Her aggressive play and calm demeanor set her apart from the competition early in the final round.
Her efforts culminated in a commanding victory at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, where she shot a 4-under 68 to finish at 14-under overall. Thompson’s fast start with three birdies in five holes quickly distanced her from closest rival Michelle Wie.
Wie attempted a comeback on the back nine, sinking critical birdies to narrow the gap. Despite the pressure, Thompson stayed composed, delivering clutch shots to maintain her lead and seal the championship.
The win solidifies Thompson’s place among American golf’s elite. “It’s been a dream come true,” she shared, expressing gratitude and a continued commitment to improving her game for future challenges.
