Lexi Thompson Rallies to Win Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan

BELMONT, Mich. — Lexi Thompson made sure she didn't beat herself — and ended up defeating everyone else.

"I was just trying to be patient," Thompson said after rallying from four shots back to win the Meijer LPGA Classic by a stroke Sunday. "Really, the whole day I was just trying to play my own game,"

The 20-year-old Florida player closed with a 6-under 65 at Blythefield Country Club for her fifth LPGA Tour victory. She won for the first time since the then-Kraft Nabisco Championship last year.

Thompson finished at 18-under 266 and earned $300,000.
