JOHNS CREEK, Ga. – Lexi Thompson will make her 53rd start in a major championship when she tees it up at Atlanta Athletic Club on Thursday. The 26-year-old has been competing in majors for more than half her life, but she’s arguably suffered more heartbreak than joy as her lone victory came seven years ago at the ANA Inspiration.

Thompson will make her first major start since suffering a disappointing loss in the U.S. Women’s Open at The Olympic Club, where she relinquished a five-stroke lead to finish one shot outside a playoff, won by Yuka Saso.
