Lexi Thompson will play the last tournament of her legendary career at the 2024 Grant Thornton Invitational in December before going into a well-deserved retirement. Thompson began playing golf at a very young age and became the youngest player to qualify for the US Women’s Open at just 12 years old.
Golf.com took to Instagram to share images of the game’s biggest names when they were young. They posted a picture of Thompson along with her trophy at the 2007 Westfield Junior PGA Championship. The win made her the youngest player to win the title at 12 years old.Here’s a look into the 29-year-old’s picture from 17 years ago (image via Instagram @golf_com)
