Eyes wide shut? Lexi won Thailand putting with eyes closed

For Lexi Thompson, seeing is not necessarily believing.

The 21-year-old American won the Honda LPGA Thailand Sunday in a six-shot runaway putting with her eyes closed. She has been doing that since the CME Group Tour Championship at the end of last year.

Thompson needed just 24 putts when she shot 64 in the third round.

“It just gives me more feel,” Thompson said in a Morning Drive interview. “I’m a feel player, not too technical. It’s just a way for me to feel better over putts and be more comfortable.
