This season on the LPGA Tour, Lexi Thompson has only competed in 11 tournaments and made the cut in eight of them. Away from the greens, Thompson made the headlines this year.

Earlier this month, she received the First Dow Impact Awards. She received the fans’ votes amongst the five nominees and was awarded $25,000 in cash and a matching contribution for charities. Speaking of the honor, Thompson said (via LPGA Tour):

"I am honored to be named the first recipient of the Dow Impact Award. I am especially thankful to the fans who cast their votes for me throughout this process. I am grateful to Dow for providing us nominees a platform, allowing us to bring awareness to the various causes and charities we help support to a wider audience."

Meanwhile, this season, she has some amazing finishes, such as settling in solo second at the Dow Championship and T4 at the Meijer LPGA Classic.
