 Lexi
Thompson har bevist at hun er mer enn god nok for å spille på LPGA Tour. Nå har
LPGA-sjefen godkjent søknaden.
02.10 Lexi Thompson:
Godkjent for spill på LPGA Tour
Det skulle bare mangle! Lexi Thompson har
vært god i mange år allerede. Nå får hun spille på LPGA Tour'en selv om hun ikke
er gammel nok i følge reglementet. Det ville vært latterlig om hun ikke fikk
slippe til.
Dette var en god avgjørelse av Michael Whan.
Dette står å lese på LPGA Tour'ens hjemmesider:
LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan Approves
Lexi Thompson’s Petition for Tour Membership in 2012
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida, Sept. 30, 2011 – LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan today
approved Lexi Thompson’s petition for LPGA Tour membership beginning in 2012.
“Lexi Thompson is a unique talent who has continued to grow, develop and mature
both on and off the golf course since turning professional in 2010,” Whan said.
“Her overall performance, most recently demonstrated by her win at the Navistar
LPGA Classic, has currently placed her among the top 50 in the world on the
Rolex Rankings. Additionally, her ability to handle the success and
disappointment inherent to this game testifies to a level of maturity that I
believe makes her capable of handling the emotional rigors of professional golf.
Therefore, effective at the start of our 2012 season, Lexi will officially
become a member of the LPGA Tour.”
Thompson’s win at the Navistar LPGA Classic, where 15 of the top 20 players on
the Rolex Rankings and 45 of the top 50 on the LPGA Official Money List played,
was her first official LPGA victory and qualified her for the season-ending CME
Group Titleholders at Grand Cypress Golf Club in Orlando, Fla., Nov. 14-20,
2011.
“Clearly, there is great enthusiasm and excitement as Lexi begins her LPGA
career,” Whan said. “I think her future is bright and I hope she makes the most
of this opportunity.”
By rule, a player between the ages of 15 and 18 years of age must petition the
Commissioner for special permission to apply for membership, which Thompson’s
management group recently did.
