Lexi Thompson Has a Top and a Shank to Start Windy Third Round at Women’s PGA with Triple Bogey

COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, JUN 20 – Lexi Thompson is contending for her first major win in 11 years while playing a reduced schedule and is tied for third entering the weekend at the 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

  • Lexi Thompson is tied for third place after the first two rounds on June 20, 2025, at the major championship held at Fields Ranch East, where she is competing strongly at PGA Frisco.
  • Thompson's contention follows her decision last season to reduce her playing schedule to focus on practice and manage pressure better during high-level events.
  • She started slowly with an even-par round on Thursday and recovered with a 2-under 70 on Friday, making three birdies and only one bogey despite difficult course conditions and wind.
  • Thompson stated, "Hit the fairways, that's for sure," highlighting the challenge of thick rough and the importance of fairway accuracy to succeed at Fields Ranch East.
  • Her strong position going into the weekend suggests she remains a major title contender despite an 11-year drought and recent partial retirement from full-time play.
