Boxing injury didn't keep Lexi Thompson from Meijer LPGA win
Lexi Thompson has been dealing with an injury from inside the ring, but it didn't stop her from winning inside the ropes.
With a final-round, 6-under 65, Thompson overcame a four-shot deficit to win the Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan. Entering the day, Thompson trailed 54-hole leader Lizette Salas by four shots. Thompson made five birdies on the front nine against one bogey, going out in 4-under 32. A pair of birdies after the turn got her to 6 under on the day, and she hung on from there to sweat out a one-shot win over Salas and Gerina Piller.
Thompson has been dealing with a right wrist injury that she suffered while showing off her boxing moves for a February Golf Digest photo shoot (the same edition of the magazine where she appeared draped only with a workout towel on the cover).
The deep bone bruise happened when Conde Nast Entertainment associate producer Tony Hernandez asked the 20-year-old if he could film an interview with her while she was sparring with him, according to Golf Channel. Thompson played this week with a taped-up wrist.
"Without the tape, it still hurts pretty bad," Thompson said. "I’m icing it a ton. So, we’ll see where it goes.”
Next stop is the Ricoh Women's British Open, an event where her best finish is T-17 (2012) in three prior starts.
