REUTERS: Back at the site of the biggest win of her career and also her greatest heartbreak, American Lexi Thompson used a hot putter to earn a share of the first-round lead at the ANA Inspiration in California on Thursday.
An ample serving of rough greeted the 112-woman field for the first major of the year, and Thompson found it more often than she would have liked on a day when her driving was not the straightest. "I made some great putts, which is always a big confidence booster for me. Overall I could have hit it better, but still not complaining."Thompson's lone major victory came at Mission Hills in 2014, but three years later she was in tears after incurring a four-stroke penalty for a putting rules violation on the way to losing a playoff to Ryu So-yeon.
She has a first, second and third in her past three LPGA starts, and Thursday was another good day at the office."I hit the fairway, so hit the green, two-putt, that's it," she said.
