Throuout the match, the firepower of Motorcity GC was displayed by Lexi Thompson and Jeeno Thitikul. The early lead became 7-0 by midway through the match and went on cruise control and wins 8-2.
She Said It … as Lexi Thompson takes Our Question
Q. How important is it for you to have an activity or for
your profession that you can have fun at and have a
change of pace from the grind of beating everybody on
Tour and then you come out here and be friends and
have a great time for two, three months a year and get
that change of pace?
LEXI THOMPSON: Yeah, I feel it’s so nice. Golf is such
an individual sport, so to be able to come to the WTGL, be
part of a team — we’re still friends in our super focused
tournaments that we play week in and week out; it’s just a
little bit more intense.
But it’s nice to come together as a team and play a
different format and give the fans also an insight of our
personalities, because a lot of people really, they just see
us as golfers; they don’t really get to know us that well
besides our interactions through social media, our
interviews and everything like that.
It’s nice to have a little bit more of a relaxed setting and a
different format.
Plenty of Scenic 3D/AI Backdrops
Annika Sorenstam adds a Nordic element to this hole. Players appear to tee off and hit a shot over water.
Putting is different from real grass to putting carpet.
Putts on greens tend to have more forgiveness. Putts on the carpet tend to have less subtle turn and do not lip out as much.
Factoids that May interest only Me
Jeeno Thitikul is 463 strokes under par on par fives in her career.
