Kudos to the LPGA’s Lexi Thompson who will retire from her full-time commitment to the LPGA Tour at the end of this year. One of her 15 LPGA Tour wins came in Indiana at the 2017 Indy Women in Tech Championship at Brickyard Crossing Golf Club. She will be missed on tour. Indiana Golf Journal wishes Lexi good luck in her future endeavors.
