When it comes to asking questions, consider this one to Lexi Thompson a bogey: What was the experience like stepping onto the first tee at the U.S. Women's Open at Pebble Beach?
“Well, I started on 10,” Thompson said, correcting the interviewer, “but still amazing.”
That wasn’t the only bogey made on Thursday.
The venerable seaside links greeted the world’s best female professionals with overcast skies, brisk-yet-humid air with a slight wind, and a difficult setup for the opening round of the U.S. Women’s Open. Thompson, playing in already her 17th national championship at just 28 years old, only managed a 2-over 74 to sit middle of the pack, but shockingly, she was easily the standout in Thursday morning’s featured group.
