Lexi records another runner-up, says she'll stick with claw grip

Lexi Thompson recorded her third career runner-up finish in a major on Sunday.

Thompson struggled out of the gates in the final round of the U.S. Women's Open, bogeying three of her first four holes. She went on to steady herself and play the rest of the golf course in 1 under on a tough day for scoring, but it wasn't enough.

"It was a bit of a rough day," she said. "Definitely wasn't my ball striking. I got off to a pretty bad start. Just overall wasn't as comfortable, I guess, over my shots."

A 2-over 73 left her tied for second at 4 under par with Angel Yin and So Yeon Ryu, two shots behind the champion Jeongeun Lee6.
