She made history by becoming the youngest player to qualify for the U.S. Women’s Open at the age of 12. At the age of 16, she set a new record as the youngest-ever winner of an LPGA tournament. Here we’re talking about one of the most feared golfers on the LPGA tour, Lexi Thompson. She made a name for herself at a very young age and is still on top of her game. Shooting a hole-in-one at the Grant Thornton Invitational in front of all the PGA Tour pros. But what do we know about her? Why would a fifteen-year-old attempt to sue and change the LPGA’s rules twice? And what is the dynamic between Donald Trump and Lexi herself? Let’s dive into the story of the LPGA Tour’s rising star.

The hard work and sacrifices she had to make paid off big time. Before Lexi made it to the U.S women’s open in 2007, she had already won the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship twice, in 2003 and 2004. But most astonishing of all, she made history at the age of 12 when she became the youngest player to qualify for the US Women’s Open. She finished the event with scores of 86 and 82, falling short of making the cut. Back in 2007, she emerged victorious in the Aldila Junior Classic, making her the second-youngest winner in the American Junior Golf Association. Lexi would qualify for the U.S women’s open again the following year and make the cut. By the end, she finished 34th, an extremely impressive achievement for a 14-year-old.
