Have a day, Lexi Thompson!
Lexi Thompson fired an impressive 5-under 67 during the second round of the Chevron Championship, launching herself into serious contention. But what’s grabbing headlines isn’t just her score — it’s the fresh mindset that’s come with stepping back from the grind of full-time professional golf.
After announcing a scaled-back schedule last year, Thompson said she’s finally enjoying the game again — less pressure, more peace. “I feel freer now,” she explained. “It’s less about chasing points and more about loving the moment.”
The 29-year-old LPGA veteran admitted that years of week-to-week competition had taken a toll — both mentally and physically. By reducing her schedule, she’s rediscovered her passion and sharpened her focus.
Her round included six birdies and just one bogey, proving she still has the competitive edge. As the weekend approaches, fans are wondering: could Lexi’s new relaxed rhythm carry her to another major title?
If she keeps playing like this, don’t count her out.
