It has its own car, too.
It's fun times for the young man of 16 Floridian, who shot a 5-Saturday to take a share of the lead third round with the song-Hee Kim to Avnet LPGA Classic in conditions less breezy 67. Kim had a 70 to match Thompson 7-under 209 on course crossings at the Magnolia Grove of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail complex.
Thompson has not thought about the history of the LPGA Tour, only about making the shots.
"I will (Sunday) pass just all-in every golf shot," Thompson said. "" "". Play consistent as I have these days and we hope that all will go well. ?
Thompson will be 16 years, 2 months, 21 days Sunday. Marlene Hagge 18 years, 14 days when she won the 1952 Sarasota Open, which was an 18-hole event. Hagge won two events of 18 holes to 18 years. Paula Creamer is the youngest winner of a condensed event, winning the 2005 Sybase classic in 18 years, 9 months, 17 days.
Father of Thompson and the shopping cart knows her daughter faces pressure with its first spot in the ranking.
"How can you not feel when you see your name on it." Scott Thompson said. "I think it the feel a little bit."
Thompson tied for second in the Evian Masters year last in France, a stroke behind then-no. 1 Jiyai Shin.
Amy Yang was a stroke after a 72 and Maria Hjorth (67), Suzann Pettersen (71) and Karen Stupples (72) were 5 sous. Second round leader Sandra Gal was 4 below after a 75.
Thompson stole the day. The young person of Coral Springs, Florida, celebrated his sixteenth birthday in February only and received its first car - a Camaro SS - late last year. Thompson played in 12 and transformed United States open year last pro after 5-0 for the United States in the Curtis Cup.
She did not notice his first place in the ranking until she headed up to the 18th green, Thompson said.
"I had not been looking at the leaderboard, since I'm not trying to worry about that," she said.
Thompson has dodged disorder on the finishing hole after he hit his approach in the Greenside rough.
"I was just hoping 'Don' t go, into the bunker'" she said. "When I hit it, I was like,"Wow, that was really bad."" But this is golf. You hit shots like that. You just take and go find. ?
And it did. But Kim saved after landing in the bunker.
"I had a great lie in the bunker so I knew I had to," said Kim. "I had lots of confidence." I think that is why I've paid by. ?
She is seeking her first victory.
"I know what I need and I know what I have to do, Kim a." so I try to just my own game and talk about shopping cart more and enjoy it. "".
Yang would also be a first time winner, but she is happy to be a rather than favourite chaser as Thompson and Kim.
"I have not been in this position too much, but this way is better than a One-Shot lead," said Yang, the finalist of the last year of the LPGA Tour Championship. "They are a little nervous."
Thompson has made a number of midrange rolls, including one on no. 16 for the last of his six birdies.
"We have the right wind on many holes today," said Scott Thompson. "We were good enough to judge the wind, and when we have made an error (on 18), it it recovered." It strikes is good. She did a lot of rolls. "It's five wraps of approximately 12-15 feet, which sometimes we do not".
GAL struggled after opening with rounds of 70 and 67 in the day with an advance of a stroke on Yang.
"It sort of played hard today", said the lag. "The Greens were really bouncy, and I just wasn't striking the ball as well." Basically, one per round and I would have been happy today, but I missed three short rolls.
I am still in the mix. I am just three shots back, so nothing to worry about. ?
Hjorth overcame back-to-back bogies at the start with three birdies on the final 10 holes coupled with an eagle at the 16th hole by-5.
It has implemented his putt eagle from 15 feet with a 3-wood approach. "" It was a very good second shot, "said Hjorth, who won in 2007 on a course by Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Prattville. "The wind was coming up it's kind of the perfect form for entering the PIN."
