Speaking to the press individually after the round, both were asked about this hilarious match-up. Lexi Thompson said, “The matching wasn’t planned, that’s for sure. She saw me on the putting green and she’s like, really?” The two were wearing pink tops that stood out on the green of the course.
Khang wore black shorts and Thompson wore a white skirt. When asked, Khang said, “Funnily enough, we did not plan it. We are matching. And I jokingly said, ‘You know, it’s a good thing that I wore black shorts because it’d be hard to tell who’s who out there.”

Indeed, the two of them were very much in sync on the course, as they both had the same scores in every round (70, 71 and 71). They both birdied hole 4 and parred holes 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. In Round Three, they matched up their scores of 71 with each other, which was 4 under par.
Lexi Thompson made the highlight reel with her eagle putt on the 2nd hole. She sank the putt from outside the green, roughly 20 feet from the hole. It was an uphill putt, and the ball rolled straight into the cup for an eagle. Meanwhile, Megan Khang carded three birdies and one double bogey, tying with Lexi Thompson at T13. They are joined by eight other players in this position, including Jennifer Kupcho and Andrea Lee.
The two golfers seemed to be matching in many aspects on the course, but what else do they have in common? Keep reading to find out.
