Lexi Thompson shoots 65, leads LPGA Tour's season finale

NAPLES, Fla. -- With brother Curtis back at her side at Tiburon Golf Club, Lexi Thompson shot a 7-under 65 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in the LPGA Tour's CME Group Tour Championship.

Curtis Thompson, a Korn Ferry Tour player, also caddied for his sister in 2018 when she won the season-ending event.

"If we're both home, we are always playing golf together and joking around," Thompson said. "It's great to have him out here. I really appreciate him helping me out and keeping me loose out there. Whether I play good or bad, he always keeps a smile on my face.
