The 2014 Chevron Championship winner, Lexi Thompson, has a “better mindset” ahead of the event’s 2023 edition. But, the golfer’s taped-up wrist caught the attention of many present at the event. Thompson later revealed that her wrist injury was due to the LPGA star overworking herself back at home. However, she also eased the worries of her fans, sharing that the injury was not severe in nature.

In fact, despite her “time off,” the golfer was working “harder than ever” at her home in South Florida. Feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, Thompson will now have her eyes on winning the second Chevron Championship title of her career this time around.
