Safe to say the golf world was paying attention to happenings at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas. Lexi Thompson is a big, big reason why.
The 28-year-old became the seventh female golfer to play in a PGA Tour event when she teed it up at the 2023 Shriners Children’s Open. Only one has ever made the cut, and Thompson was in a good position to make the cut on her back nine holes Friday until a pair of late bogeys on par 3s. She shot 2-under 69 on Friday and carded an even-par 142 for the week, which will fall just outside of the cut line.
However, her effort in the desert was nothing short of spectacular, and people were tuned in from all over.
Here are some of the best reactions to Thompson’s performance at the Shriners Children’s Open.
