Lexi Thompson shot a 3 under par 69 today to maintain the lead in the Navistar LPGA Tour event at Capitol Hill. She is being chased by Mi Jung Hur of South Korea and Mindy Kim of the United States, two golfers Johnny B has never heard of. Stacy Lewis sits 4 shots back in 11th place, having a chance to sweep the events in Alabama this year after winning the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic earlier this year.
In the post round interview, Lexi Thompson seemed as though she was not impressed with her round today, transcript of the interview can be seen HERE. Of course, how many very good and great golfers are ever satisfied with their rounds?
As for Johnny B, well, the cheers are being directed towards Stacy Lewis. I first saw her playing on the range at the 2007 US Women's Open at Pine Needles and have followed here playing career thus far with interest. Here's hoping she adds another trophy to the case.
Coverage starts, live, tomorrow at 2pm on Golf Channel.
PGA TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP
In other news, the men are at East Lake, just a short drive up the road from the current Johnny B homestead. The course looks fantastic as always and it is hoped that the opportunity to play there comes sooner, rather than later. And, in spite of his philandering ways, the cheers are going to Tiger. He needs more wins and money less than I need more golf ball display cases, but lets face it, we're witnessing history with him and it's never bad to see him make a little more.
