I had nothing to lose, and that was my mentality – just kind of go for it.”Lexi Thompson was competing in her 18th consecutive US Women’s Open.
Sarah Stier/Getty ImagesEarlier in the week, Thompson had announced she would retire from professional golf at the end of this season.
The 29-year-old, competing in her 18th consecutive US Women’s Open, was 13-over overall and afterwards was tearful answering questions from reporters.
“Minus the golf it was amazing,” Thompson, who qualified for her first US Women’s Open aged 12, said.
