Very entertaining style. Win some, lose some, always winsome.
She’s probably making the right decision and at the right time.
This 29 y\o lady has spent over half her life publicly competing in a sport at a high level. She very likely missed out on enjoying life off the golf course. She can step away now, with her head and her favorite golf club held high.
Team Harrison Butker perhaps?
Always a classy player who makes time for the fans, particularly the young ones, and remembers to thank tournament hosts, sponsors, staff, volunteers, and patrons, no matter how she finishes.
Too much pressure, too fast, much like Michelle Wie. Twelve is too young to play in a major tournament, and 15 is too young to turn pro. No normal growing up and learning how to win when the going gets rough.
Was/is a bit of a loner who has had mental health struggles, despite her amazing talent and work ethic. Losing the 2017 ANA Inspiration major championship after some d-bag fan called in a four stroke penalty cost her the win and really sent her into a tailspin. Still, 11 LPGA victories and one major is nothing at which to sneeze.
Thompson says she is retiring from full time golf. Hopefully she’ll play the occasional tournament, perhaps one of the majors.
