    Years ago I noticed Lexi unhappy during the Lotte. Everyone said not Lexi. Well lexis depression the past few years is now well documented. But the good news is she seems to be coming around; ala Sergio a couple years ago when he chilled out just long enough to have his career moment. Lexi has already had some career moments but with this newfound joy and stroke, it seems like Lexi is back.
    And btw Lexi taking some time off from regular events could be exactly what women’s golf needs.
    Sure Lexi genuinely needed some rest, but resting from lpga purses is easy for a well sponsored players like Lexi. The tour and its sponsors may need to make sure the lpga purses and big enough that even the top players feel like they cannot rest too long, as happens on the pga tour. Even the million dollar bonus isn’t going to make a Lexi go too far out of her way.

      Problem is that fewer American players who can contend hurts ratings…..the sport is being taken over primarily by Asian countries.
