LAS VEGAS — Lexi Thompson delivered star-power moments built for a stage like Las Vegas, and when she poured in a pair of long birdie putts Friday, she was on the verge of history.
“Playing with the guys — amazing feeling,” Thompson said after a 2-under 69. “Growing up with guys, I've always wanted to be out on a PGA Tour event and tee it up. But the biggest thing was seeing the kids out there outside the ropes and then meeting a few of the Shriners ambassadors. That was the most special.”Thompson made five birdies in a 10-hole stretch, only to make two bogeys toward the end and missing a six-foot birdie putt on her final hole.
“I knew I had to play my ‘A’ game,” Thompson said, adding that golf was only part of her being in Las Vegas."Just coming into the week there was more of a message than just playing golf. To inspire the kids, that's what I enjoy most.”She finished the opening round, which had been suspended by darkness, by missing a 20-foot par putt on the 17th hole and making a tough par save on the 18th for a 73. Then, she began her second nine with a bogey on the 10th hole.
“I tried to stay focused on my game and focused on my swing thoughts, picking small targets and staying 100 per cent committed.” The cut was at 1 under when she walked off the ninth green, but already was at 2 under after she had signed her card. Scoring conditions were ideal, and cut was not expected to come back.
