LANCASTER, Pa. — Lexi Thompson stood off to the side of the ninth green after hitting what could be her final stroke — a three-inch bogey putt — in the U.S. Women's Open. It was just like any other round until she headed toward the scoring room.This isn't the way she wanted to leave — a 78 in the opening round Thursday, four straight bogeys around the turn Friday that doomed any hopes of making the cut and a 75 for a 13-over-par total.
Thompson made her Women's Open debut at age 12 in 2007 at Pine Needles. That led to one question about what she would tell her 12-year-old self. Moments later, she stopped in the middle of a sentence as her voice choked, turned to the moderator and whispered in a harsh tone, “I knew I shouldn't have done this.”“It was going to be a big week. Just to have my family and friends and the amount of fans that were out there this week, that's what we want,” she said. “That's what we want for the game of golf to grow. Each and every tournament, I hope it continues to do so, whether I'm teeing it up or not.
As for the U.S. Women's Open, barring a stronger performance — Thompson has gone nearly five years without winning — she would not be exempt next year.
