Lexi Thompson makes big strides in 2015 as she aims for LPGA’s top echelon

NAPLES, Fla. – Lexi Thompson calls 2015 her best season to date. Two victories, a dozen top 10s, only one missed cut.

“Coming into the year,” Thompson said, “my goal was just to play consistent golf.”

Mission accomplished.

The next step for Thompson, of course, is to put her name in the season-ending awards conversation. For the past several years, it’s been the Stacy Lewis/Inbee Park show on the LPGA, with the two veterans clashing for year-end accolades. This year, teen queen Lydia Ko stepped up in a massive way, winning five times and matching or surpassing Park in nearly every category.
