The good news is Thompson is playing in the 47th AIG Women’s Open. Thompson’s participation for the USA in the 2021 Solheim Cup earns her exemption for the event. She also features in the top-50 in the Rolex Rankings Week July 3, another criterion that paves the way for her.
This is a big deal for her fans who were disappointed when she didn’t play at the Evian Championship last month in France. They can’t wait to see her in action in the upcoming tournament.
