12 yrs old and playing in the Women's US Open!
Amazing.....
The pre-teen phenom, who signed her first autograph at age 10, qualified for the tournament in a 36-hole event June 11 in Florida, taking the sixth of eight berths at stake with rounds of 72 and 71.
Thompson achieved the feat at 12 years, four months and one day - seven months and 20 days younger than the old mark set by Morgan Pressel in 2001 when she debuted in the Open here. Pressel, 19, now ranks fifth in the world.
