Lexi Thompson posts message reacting to slow play accusations at 2025 U.S. Women's Open

After posting scores of 73 and 74 at Erin Hills in Wisconsin, Lexi Thompson missed the cut at the 2025 U.S. Women's Open by two strokes.

Thompson gets plenty of attention whenever she plays, but it was all amplified the first two days as she was grouped with Nelly Korda and Charley Hull.

Thompson was playing in her 19th U.S. Women's Open, a tournament she hasn't missed since she was 12 years old in 2007. From the start of her round, there was talk of pace of play on social media, with video clips showing Hull sitting on the hole ahead, waiting for her group to finish the prior one. Thompson took plenty of flak as a result.

On Sunday, she posted a message on Instagram that covered a lot of ground.

She started with a Thank You to the USGA and the fans who turned out to support her. She then addressed slow play and stated that her group was "never out of position/warned/ or on the clock." She admitted she not as fast a player as Korda or Hull, two of the fastest players on tour.

She ended her message with a reminder that while she's cutting back on her schedule and being more selective in when and where she plays, she never said she was retired.
