COMMENTS: No Teenage Phenom
ABC's sibling network ESPN was supposed to cover the opening day's play of the US Women's Open golf tournament in North Carolina. Jeffrey Kofman went along for an up-close-and-personal profile of one of the players--but rain arrived after Alexis Thompson played only one hole so we saw only the pre-game none of the actual performance. But even Thompson's practice swings were worth the look. In an age when so much coverage about women's golf concerns teenage phenoms, Thompson, from Coral Springs Fla, is an exception. Lexi is no teenager playing against grown-ups…she is a pre-teen heading for the seventh grade, a contestant at age twelve.
