The 2014 LPGA season has been a breakout one for Lexi Thompson. She may have only collected one win, but it was a big one. Her victory at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in April gave Thompson her first major and the fourth LPGA win of her career. In case you haven’t noticed, the girl who turned heads when she played in the U.S. Open at 12 years old is all grown up.
In a recent interview with Golf Punk, Thompson delves into what life is like on tour, being destined for greatness, what it would mean to get into the Hall of Fame, and much more.
“I realized I wanted to be on the LPGA Tour when I was at the 2007 U.S. Open,” Thompson told Golf Punk. “That’s when it really hit me that this is where I want to be and play against those great players. I knew I’d have to work my butt off over the next few years to get there, but that was the moment I realized what I wanted to do.”
The photos that accompanied the piece were just as big of a story. “Sexy Lexi,” as she’s referred to in the video, showed off her rocking body in a series of poolside photos for the magazine. Thompson shared the story and the photos on Twitter and Instagram:
