OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. – Lexi Thompson’s reasons for passing on interview requests leading into this week’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship became more heartfelt and intensely personal Wednesday with a fuller explanation.
Bobby Kreusler, Thompson’s agent, told Golfweek that Lexi’s mother is being treated for uterine cancer.
“It has been devastating news to the whole Thompson family,” Kreusler told Golfweek.
Judy Thompson, Lexi’s mother, began experiencing symptoms while accompanying Lexi at the Kingsmill Championship, which Lexi won.
Kreusler told Golfweek that a biopsy revealed the cancer after Judy returned home from the championship.
