Lexi Thompson has been one of the predominant faces of American women’s golf since she became the youngest female to ever qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open … at age 12. Last year, then aged 26, she had a five-shot lead at the U.S. Women’s Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco before her dream of winning slipped away in the final round, and Yuka Saso edged out Nasa Hataoka in a playoff.
This week at Pine Needles in North Carolina, Thompson is looking to bounce back and win the 2022 U.S. Women’s Open. She recently spoke at length about her gear with Golfweek’s David Dusek.
