Not a bad time to retire (if you can) at only 29yo...

Hate to see it, but I'm sure the grind is tough after 13 seasons and any future plans .

Happy Trails Lexi!

She helped gain exposure for women’s golf. My daughter (9) likes watching her. I hope she enjoyed retirement.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see her jump into the YouTube golf game.

I don’t think she has the personality for that.

Yea to last on tour for 13 season, have double digit wins, including a major, it takes you out of the "mental midget" category.

She’s a fricking head case dude. What are you arguing? She’s let her emotions get the better of her constantly in her career, including some absolute meltdowns. The main reason she’s retiring at 29 is because of the mental toll it’s taking on her. Doesn’t matter if she’s won 50 tournaments and 10 majors, she’s a mental weakling

These two don't go together imo.

My man why are you so riled up over someone having a differing opinion than yours? Some would say you're showing signs of a mental weakling. I wouldn't. But some would.

In no way am I riled up. She’s a head case, that’s not an opinion

Her talent should have netted her a much more successful career than this is the cause of it was her lack of mental toughness it seemed.

It's your opinion and one not backed up by any fact whatsoever. I'd say you're more of a head case than she is.

Calm down. Is it really that hard to understand what I'm saying? She had a double digit career with double digit wins and a major. Mental midgets don't pull that off. I know she wasn't a great putter, wasn't trying to deny that. Had she been a better putter, she would have won a lot more. Same can be applied to quite a few golfers for a lot of different skill sets.

Tony Finau and Justin Thomas are 152nd and 162nd respectively out of 182 that qualify in strokes gained putting. I don't doubt that both of them could win more if they were better putters. Do I think Tony Finau is mental midget because he's only won 6 times in 9 years with no majors? No, he's had a good career and he just ain't that good of a putter. He could have a better career if he was a good putter, the same applies to Lexi Thompson.
