In honor of her final full season on the LPGA Tour, Judd Silverman, the tournament director, and his team have declared Friday as Lexi Thompson Day.

In addition, the tournament organizers will also sell pink hats with ‘Lexi’ written on them. Per a report on Golfweek, there are also buttons with ‘Thank You, Lexi’ etched on them. The 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship winner is yet to sniff victory in the Dana Open. But she is coming on the back of three back-to-back top-fives. History might change by Sunday.
