Lexi Thompson won here first LPGA event this weekend in Alabama by 5 strokes becoming the youngest ever at 16(18 was the previous record)
In case you haven't seen her or read the story on her, here is a quick summary.
She is what Wie was supposed to be.
Her family is golf crazed, one brother is on nationwide tour and one is a frosh at LSU golf.
She has played in men's small tour events, but unlike Wie, she went in and tried to qualify.
Her father was criticized by some on tour for complaining about the way the courses were set up
in women's events. They play the course too often where the length of people like Wie and Lexi are
nullified by the placement of the tees.
The LPGA created the problem by not giving her a membership because of her age, they want to wait until she is 18.
The stink is getting bigger with people like Inkster saying it is making the tour look bad.
