Thompson dominant in LPGA tournament

-

Lexi Thompson shot a 6-under 65 on Sunday to finish off a wire-to-wire victory in the Kingsmill Championsh­ip in Williamsbu­rg, Va., with a tournament-record 20-under 264 total. Thompson broke the tournament record of 19 under at Kingsmill’s River Course set by Annika Sorenstam in 2008. The victory came in Thompson’s third event since she lost the ANA Inspiratio­n in a playoff after being penalized four strokes for a rules violation reported by a television viewer. The victory, Thompson’s eighth, gave her at least one in five consecutiv­e seasons.
