Thompson finished with a clutch eagle on the 18th hole to garner her 11th career LPGA victory and the 6th win for Bridgestone this season, including 5 with the TOUR B X golf ball. Thompson's victory vaults her to No. 1 on the U.S. Solheim Cup points list.
Returning to the scene of her professional debut just 9 years ago, Lexi carded a 12-under total of 201 to win the 54-hole event by two shots. In testing the TOUR B X ball with the Bridgestone R&D team this past fall, Thompson optimized her fit and acquired an additional 5 yards off the tee with improved accuracy. In addition, Thompson's approach shots benefited from her adoption of the TOUR B X as well, seeing a more preferred penetrating ball flight, perfect for cutting through the strong breezes of the Bay Course at Seaview all week.
President and CEO of Bridgestone Dan Murphy said,
"Once again, Lexi proved that her will to win and her competitive mettle is second to none, coming back from a tough defeat last week to win a hard-fought battle at the ShopRite LPGA Classic. Lexi is a champion in every sense of the word, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her representing Bridgestone Golf. The TOUR B X has proven to be an excellent fit for her game, and we’re excited to see what the rest of the season holds."
