Golf World Reacts to Lexi Thompson Nearly Making Cut at Shriners Children's Open

Lexi Thompson gave it a great run at the Shriner's Children's Open in Las Vegas. She shot 73-69 to miss the cut by two shots. Only one woman in history, Babe Didrikson Zaharias in 1945, has made a PGA Tour cut. The golf world was watching and many took time to congratulate Thompson on her accomplishment.

Rounds in 60s by women all-time on the PGA Tour:

2004 Michelle Wie West, Sony Open, 68 (-2)
2006 Michelle Wie West, Sony Open, 68 (-2)
2023 Lexi Thompson, Shriners, 69 (-2)

Thompson hit 12/14 fairways, 14/18 greens and gained more than a full stroke on the field putting.

I'm once again asking you to make the Presidents Cup a mixed team event put on by the PGA Tour and the LPGA.

All the props in the world to Lexi and everyone involved! https://t.co/2EPhc1CZTr

Also very much enjoyed all the skeptical replies about delusional dudes that think they can compete on the LPGA. This one took the cake though. pic.twitter.com/12vJg55X1W
