Lexi Thompson and Megan Khang will compete in the Solheim Cup at the Robert Trent Golf Club in Virginia this week. They will represent Team USA in the biennial event against Team Europe, with golfers like Nelly Korda and others in the squad.
Ahead of the Solheim Cup, Megan Khang praised her teammate Lexi Thompson, who will feature at the Solheim Cup for the last time as a player. Thompson will retire from professional golf at the end of the 2024 season.The 29-year-old has competed in six Solheim Cups and will be representing Team USA for the seventh time in the biennial event.
“I think Lexi is just such a great role model not only for us but for the young kids. You look at her, and she’s so engaging with the volunteers and the fans, sponsors. She does the absolute most, and I think the Tour is going to lose a huge asset when she does retire,” Khang said.
Khang also said she jokes with Thompson about retirement and enjoys playing golf with her.
“I joke with her, ‘you’re not really retiring.’ I got to play with her the last few days, last week at the FM Championship. It’s so good getting to play with her, and I really cherish those rounds with her because you see how she is,” the 23-year-old said.
