DESPITE FALLING OFF the pace today at the Navistar LPGA Classic, amateur sensation Alexis Thompson is still the talk of the LPGA Tour and golf this weekend and remains the big headline grabber among 14-year-old girls.
Playing against the world’s best women golf professionals, Thompson shared the 36-hole lead after shooting rounds of 65 and 69. Today she shot a two-over 74, but didn’t sound too disappointed.
“It’s just one of those days that your game is off,” Thompson said. “That’s golf.”
Lorena Ochoa leads by three going into the final round.

Great post…sounds as if there might be a 14 year old girl or two in your family.
This was awesome. You have to say that this is a great acomplishment
14 years of age and playing good golf with a good attitude… aaah to be 14 again (",)
I do have familiarity with the age. My daughter, who turns 14 in two weeks, is a terrific girl.
