Alexis Thompson...nice going today

Not bad for a kid, -1, but I'll bet she is steamed about the bogey on 18.

Don't you guys just love NBC for dropping the women's US Open like a hot potato. They could have extended coverage or made arrangements to move it to ESPN or The Golf Channel but oh no, let's not do that, let's just drop it!

Hey Blue,

What in the world happened to your girl Jennifer Song today?

I agree a great day for Lexi as she wants to be called now. It is easier to see a player moving up when they shoot a low score, it is harder to notice when they shoot about par but everyone else backs up.

Now, where are those so-called experts here that say Lexi Thompson can not compete with the adults? At any given day...she even can show the No. 1 player in the world how to golf.

Ok so I was wrong.

Thank you Xman for admitting you were wrong. Good sportsmanship, my friend.

I didn't say Alexis Thompson couldn't compete with adults ; I said she shouldn't be competing with them.

There's a difference...

That's even worse! Why are you telling her what to do? Did you raise her and feed her like her parents did? They are the one who have the say on what their daughter wants to do. Don't you agree?

Man..."WHY ARE HEMORRHOIDS CALLED
"HEMORRHOIDS" INSTEAD OF "ASSTEROIDS"?

No,I don't agree.

But don't let that get in the way of your hyperbolic ranting.

Sometimes,children need to be protected from their parents' best intentions.They also need to go to school,to interract with kids their own age.They don't need to be thrust into an adult environment at such a young age.On the whole,I don't think it's good for their development.

Ok,Bob,this is where you come back at me with,"Oh,so now you're saying that Alexis Thompson has terrible parents and because of them she'll be a burnt-out crackwhòre by the time she's 25.''

You know,because you tend to extrapolate wildly when you rebut another person's point of view.

It will be a tremendous achievement if Alexis Thompson wins this event,and she could ;it still won't alter my opinion that she shouldn't be in it to begin with...

but every day, every week? On any given day I'm sure a lot of golfers could compete! That's what golf is about, it's not about just one day's play. It's about 3 or 4 days play, practice days, pro am days.

I will agree that so far she has played well in the Open, if you recall she didn't do well in the Shoprite. Nothing wrong with playing in the Open if she's qualified to play, but I still don't think she should be out there on a permanent basis - until she is of age. The age limit is there for a reason.
