Lexi Thompson is one of the only three American professional golfers who made their way into the Top 10 Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings. She currently ranks six in the standings and has earned the spot because of her passion for the sport and hard work. 

Practice makes a human being perfect, and sports entities are known to keep a routine for themselves to make their game perfect. However, they don’t normally keep up with it if they are not playing the sport. And the 27-year-old American professional golfer loves to keep a routine for her rest days, and she religiously follows it through!

“A look inside my solid practice session today…” Thompson revealed her intense training routine through an Instagram post. “I average practicing about 3-5 hours a day but putting alone about 2 hours. Then on top of that, 1-2 hours in the gym training,” her caption further read. “So if I’m not playing an event that is my everyday schedule, hardly ever any days off.”
