LAS VEGAS -- Lexi Thompson was pouring in putts from everywhere Friday and was on the verge of making the cut in the Shriners Children's Open. Two late bogeys were likely to give her the weekend off.
Thompson missed a 6-foot birdie putt on her final hole at the TPC Summerlin and had to settle for a 2-under 69, leaving her at least one shot outside the cutline in her bid to become the first woman in 78 years to make a 36-hole cut on the PGA Tour.
Her 69 was one short of the record by a female on the PGA Tour - Michelle Wie twice shot 68 in the Sony Open, once as a 14-year-old when she missed the cut by one shot.
