Thompson on playing close to home: 'It helps out a lot'

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Lexi Thompson is making herself at home at the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions.

Not only is her brother, Curtis, on the bag as caddie again this week, but her mother, Judy, is cooking for them at night at their rental on the property.

Thompson’s boyfriend is on the trip, too. She’s also expecting neighbors and friends from her South Florida home to join those already here on the weekend.

“It helps out a lot,” Thompson said of playing a little more than two hours north of where she grew up.
