Is The 14yr Old Sensation Alexis Thompson The Next Michelle Wie?

So is she going to be the next Michelle Wie? Not to be mean , but hopefully not, after having seen some of Michelle Wie’s downward spiral!

The young phenomenon actually first appeared on the pro tour when she was only  12!  At the time She was the youngest player to ever qualify for the US Open. (the prior record holder  who was only 6 months older at the time is now 20 year old Morgan Pressel.) Even though the Florida native did miss the cut in 2008 US Women’s Open, it didn’t bother her a bit.  

Hey, when you are 14 and you have all your life ahead of you to prove yourself , you wouldn’t be stressing over a little bump on the road either!  We are going to keep an eye on you , because we are pretty sure this wan’t the last time we heard from  Alexis Thompson!
