Lexi Thompson had the Rolex Rankings Move of the Week moving up one spot to No. 3 surpassing Stacy Lewis as the top-ranked American. Thompson claimed her seventh LPGA title at the Honda LPGA Thailand on Sunday and shot a final-round 4-under 68 for a six-shot victory over rookie In Gee Chun.
“It means the world to me,” said Thompson. “I’m out here not only representing myself but representing my country being an American, and this being a huge year with the Olympics. But I’m just trying to focus on my own game, not anybody else’s. Just trying to do my best and I’m very grateful for the opportunity that I’m out here following my dreams, honestly.”
Other Notable Moves:
With Thompson's win in Thailand, she moved into the first spot for Team USA
In Gee Chun and Amy Yang moved into the third and fourth spots respectively for Team Korea
If the Olympics were played today, the United States would have three members: Lexi Thompson, Stacy Lewis and Cristie Kerr
