She demonstrated her resiliency in both the prestigious Solheim Cup and the Ascendant. And now, icing on the top, she is the seventh woman in golf history to become a part of the PGA Tour.

Thompson is now competing in the Las Vegas Shriners Children’s Open and displaying amazing abilities there. She is being praised by numerous LPGA stars. However, Thompson’s best and most considerate gift came from the course alone.
