Lexi Thompson’s Historic Performance at Shriner’s Open

Lexi Thompson’s appearance at the Shriner’s Open has made a significant mark in golf history. Invited as a sponsor’s choice, she joined a small group of women who have played in PGA Tour events. After her second round, the big question was whether she’d make it to the next stage.

In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Lexi expressed her ambition, stating, “All I know is that it would definitely be at the top of my accomplishments if I could make the cut.”

After her second round on Friday, Lexi came close to making the cut but narrowly missed it. She scored an impressive 2-under 69 but fell short by just one stroke from the expected cutline. This performance deserves recognition and respect.

If Lexi had made the cut, she would have been the first woman to do so in a PGA Tour event since Babe Didrikson Zaharias in 1945 at the Tuscon Open. Babe Zaharias, a pioneer in women’s golf, frequently competed against men, and her legacy greatly contributed to the current state of women’s golf and the LPGA.

Lexi Thompson’s participation in this week’s event brought a lot of attention. Her exciting and competitive style of play kept fans engaged. Though she missed the cut, her performance has left a lasting impression on the history of women in golf.
