Lexi Thompson made her way to the PGA Tour following a strong performance in Texas, where she secured a top-5 finish and $75,085. While she had her sights set on potentially clinching her first LPGA title in four years at the Old American Golf Club, her weekend rounds of 71-70 ultimately left her trailing behind eventual winner Hyo Joo Kim by six strokes, settling for a solo fifth-place finish at the 2023 Ascendant LPGA benefiting Volunteers of America.

Despite not being able to apply significant pressure on the leader, Thompson remains filled with confidence as she heads to the Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas. It’s worth noting that she’ll be the seventh woman in history to compete in a PGA Tour event!

Ready to give the PGA Tour a run for their money

She also posts significantly on her Instagram handle to update her followers on the recent events in her life. She posted a picture recently on Instagram, in which she is seen wearing a black and white attire.

She captioned the picture “Solid week here in Texas with a 5th place finish, a lot of positives to take from the week! Thanks to the sponsors, volunteers, and fans this week at the @ascendantlpga for making it possible.☺️”

The second picture she posted on Instagram had her in a pair of black shorts and a pink tee shirt. She can be seen reading the green in one image and the second one shows her teeing off from the tee box.

The Instagram post gathered a lot of attention from her followers, a total of 4,000 likes and close to 200 comments.
