Alexis Thompson Makes U.S. Women’s Open History
At the age of 12, Alexis Thompson has worked hard to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open and in doing so has made history. The seventh-grade schoolgirl from Coral Springs, Florida, is mingling with her idols such as world number one Lorena Ochoa, Swedish star Annika Sorenstam, Australian legend Karrie Webb and more at the 3.1 million-dollar LPGA event. “I’m just excited that I made it. This whole week is going to be really cool,” she said. “It has been an awesome experience already. I’m just going to act normal and play my game.”
