Attempting to become the youngest winner in LPGA Tour
history, the 14-year-old from Coral Springs, Fla., shot a
3-under 69 on Friday for a share of the lead with top-ranked
Lorena Ochoa and three others. “I mean, I can say I’m really mature for 14,” said Thompson, the sister of PGA Tour player Nicholas Thompson. “I would definitely say that. But, I mean, I don’t know. I just play golf every day. I mean, I’m young. That’s the only difference. I don’t know, I’m pretty good for a young player. … I’m 14 and I just love to play golf.” Marlene Hagge won the 1952 Sarasota Open 14 days after her 18th birthday and took the Bakersfield Open two months later, but both were 18-hole events. Paula Creamer won the 2005 Sybase Classic at 18 years, 9 months to become the youngest winner of a full tournament. Thompson won the 2008 U.S. Girls’ Junior and tied for 34th in July in the U.S. Women’s Open. She shot a 65 on Thursday. “I was a little nervous in the beginning,” Thompson said. “I don’t know why, but I was just playing it as a normal tournament. I mean, maybe just because I was at the top. I don’t know. But I’m just going to go out there on the weekend and just be relaxed and just play my game.” “It’s lovely to see a young girl like that playing so well,” said Davies, a 20-time LPGA Tour winner. “It’s good for all of us if she keeps that up.” Thompson bogeyed the 369-yard fourth hole, hitting a lob wedge from 36 yards to 15 feet and two-putting, but rebounded with a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-5 fifth. “That fourth hole, that was a pretty stupid mistake,” Thompson said. “But I bounced back and I made birdie next hole. So that was good. That definitely turned it around.” She also birdied the par-5 eighth—two-putting after hitting a hybrid from 202 yards to 8 feet—and added birdies on the par-4 ninth and par-5 17th. “I just want to shoot under par the next two days,” Thompson said. “Maybe in the 60s would be nice, both days. I think I would be up there.” |
