Returning to the Chevron Championship, a venue that will always hold special meaning for her as a teenage champion, wasn’t the victorious homecoming that Lexi Thompson had hoped for. Ten years after winning the 2014 ANA Inspiration, now the Chevron Championship, Thompson could not secure a second major championship. She shot a dismal 78-74 in the first two days, failing to make the cut for the weekend rounds.

Lexi Thompson’s unexpected early exit from the Chevron Championship came as a shock to the golf world. The usually solid American player continued a long-term losing streak as she missed the cut in one of the major tournaments on the LPGA Tour. However, Thompson’s candid Instagram post following the unlucky cut was what truly grabbed the attention and support of her followers.

The 27-year-old acknowledged in the post that she was not “100% healthy” and that she needed “to figure out how to get back to my best self” in terms of both her physical and mental well-being.
