Lexi Thompson Shines in Thailand: What Was in Her Bag?

Let’s take a look at the equipment Lexi Thompson used to notch her Thailand victory.

Lexi Thompson blew away the competition to take home the trophy in the Honda LPGA Thailand.

Thompson used her superior long distance drives and unbelievable putting to capture her 7^th victory on the LPGA Tour.

Lexi Thompson started the day with a four-shot lead over In Gee Chun but the South Korean made things very interesting early with three-consecutive birdies straight out of the gate to cut the lead to just one.

Thompson picked up her first birdies on the 6th and 8th holes to extend the lead to three, but then dropped her only shot of the day on the 9th hole to cut the lead back to two. The 21-year-old bomber hit her most critical shot of the day and responded with an incredible second shot on the par 5, 10th hole to set her up for a four-foot eagle putt. Thompson hit her 5-iron perfectly to the front edge of the green where it rolled just enough to catch the downward slope to take it winding down toward the hole.

"“That was a round changer. Bogeying the 9th, I knew 10 was a birdie hole. But if my ball rolled down the slope to four feet and walking out with an eagle always helps on the scorecard there. I think it landed left fringe and I saw it slowly trickle. I went off by the applause by the fans off the green, and I thought, okay, that’s got to be pretty good.” – Lexi Thompson"

Up by three shots with eight holes to play, Thompson knew she wanted to stay out of trouble and did so in the final stretch. She picked up her final birdie on No. 15 to get to 20-under par. Chun stumbled on the back nine with three bogeys and a double on the 17th to let Thompson enjoy her walk down the 18th fairway.

The very popular 21 year old is the first American to win the LPGA Thailand in its ten year history. With her victory Thompson takes over the number three spot in the world rankings and now becomes the highest ranked American player in the world.
