World No. 5 Lexi Thompson says she is feeling “very comfortable” after returning to golf following a four-week break.
Thompson, speaking at this week’s Indy Women in Tech Championship at Indianapolis’ Brickyard Crossing Golf Course, missed the women’s British Open earlier this month to “recharge [her] mental batteries.”
But Thompson now says she feels “refreshed” after her recent break from the game.
“It was a hard decision for me,” she said, reflecting on her choice to miss the British Open. “With how I was mentally and emotionally, I wasn’t ready to compete there. I was struggling with my game.
Besides that, I was struggling just with myself. Last year-and-a-half has been really hard on me and I haven’t even really taken a break for myself.
“It allowed me to have those four weeks of just figuring myself out a little bit, giving myself the rest needed and come out to the last seven or eight tournaments I have left refreshed.”
