Lexi Thompson’s newest photo shoot will catch your attention

Lexi Thompson first entered the public consciousness at 12 years old when she qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open. Now at 19, Thompson has set LPGA records as their youngest champion (since eclipsed by Lydia Ko) and won a major championship. However, it’s tough not to recall her as a pre-teen phenom.

A new photo shoot for GolfPunk Magazine should change that.

Thompson dons a bikini in what would probably be considered in golf circles a steamy shoot accompanying an interview. The magazine names the LPGA star “Sexi Thompson.”

This is the second time in recent memory Thompson has made a splash in a bikini. She recently starred in a Puma ad, called “Calling All Troublemakers,” in which she wore a bikini in a hot tub, flanked by a pair of men.
