Lexi Thompson falls short by 3 shots in her bid to make PGA Tour cut in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Lexi Thompson looked to be on the verge of becoming the first woman in 78 years to make the cut on the PGA Tour. Two late bogeys stopped her. She missed a 6-foot birdie chance at the end and the 28-year-old American shot 69 in the Shriners Children’s Open. She wound up missing the cut by three shots. Cameron Champ and Lanto Griffin shared the lead going into a weekend that will not include Thompson. Her 69 missed by one shot the record by a female on the PGA Tour. Michelle Wie twice shot 68 in the Sony Open.
