Lexi Thompson at The Chevron Championship Press Conference 

Thompson is all geared up to chase the Chevron Championship for the second time and she is all geared up. She has been practicing hard and is ready to take it home.

In the conference, a reporter asked her about what seemed like an injury on her hand. She then clarified that it is not exactly an injury, but it’s because of all the practice she is getting in for the championship. She mentioned that she had been hitting a few balls at home and she might have overdone it. “I think I just overworked it. It’s nothing crazy severe, but it’s there. But we’ll see.”

A reporter asked Thompson about her not-so-typical injury. She inquired about whether her wrists hurt in a few shots that she takes differently to which the 28-year-old replied affirmatively. She informed the moderators that her hand is better today and hopes it improves more in the future. “Overall it was better today, so hopefully it’ll just slowly go away.”

“Winning this one would mean the world to me. It’s such a high honor,” said Thompson when asked about how she would feel if she wins this prestigious major tournament. She also spoke that winning here would be one of a kind experience as the Chevron Championship is all about traditions and to be getting behind the champions here, “there’s nothing like it.”

What has Thompson been up to this year? 

 Lexi Thompson has been very active on social media and has shared a lot of her life with fans. She is often seen sweating it out at the gym and maintaining herself for the sport. She utilized the earlier part of the tour to replenish her skills. 

Thompson won her first-ever major tournament, 9 years back in 2014. It was the Kraft Nabisco Championship that made her the major champion.
