Lexi Thompson is looking to make the most of what feels like the pole position at the inaugural Indy Women in Tech Championship.
The LPGA’s first event at the Brickyard Crossings Golf Course, with the final four holes inside the 2.5 mile oval track that is home to the Indianapolis 500, was played on what racing fans would call a “fast track,” with Thompson leading the first round’s low scoring.
Thompson opened with a 9-under-par 63 Thursday, good for a one-shot lead on Kris Tamulis and Sandra Gal.
Ko is just two shots back as she seeks to shake a summer swoon and win for the first time in more than a year.
