Blame Thyself, Lexi: No Excuses for Closed Door to the Open
Life is full of choices. Later today, I'm going to make a choice between peanut butter & jelly or a salad. A few weeks ago, Lexi Thompson made the choice to turn pro at age 15. Without much challenge left in the amateur ranks, Lexi wanted to chase pro golf in the footsteps of Michelle...
Living and Dying at the Majors as a Family
