DALY CITY, Calif. – They’re looking for an edge to narrow the gap on Rolex world No. 1 Lydia Ko.
Lexi Thompson and Brooke Henderson are making meaningful moves up the world rankings this year, and yet Ko keeps moving farther away from them and everyone else.
Thompson, 21, won the Honda LPGA Thailand seven weeks ago and is coming off top-10 finishes in her last two starts. She moved to No. 3 in the world rankings after winning in Thailand, surpassing Stacy Lewis as the top American. It’s the highest Thompson has climbed in the rankings.
