Lexi Thompson made a bold, early charge Sunday and then hung on to win the Meijer LPGA Classic Sunday at Blythefield Country Club in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Four shots behind Lizette Salas at day’s start, Thompson birdied seven of the first 11 holes to take command. With a 6-under-par 65, she beat Salas (70) and Gerina Piller (64) by one shot. At 20, Thompson now has five LPGA titles.
“I knew I had to make a lot of birdies,” Thompson said. “It was nice to start off with one.”
Thompson is projected to jump from No.
