Lexi Thompson mocks the LPGA's new restrictive dress code in hilarious Instagram photo
http://ift.tt/2tWehRd Not everyone in the Ladies Professional Golf Assocation might love the new dress code, but at least some are able to have a little fun with it. Professional golfer with eight career LPGA Tour wins Lexi Thompson is one such player—and she had the funniest (and most clever, for that matter) take on what women now can and can't wear (racerback tanks without a collar and plunging necklines are absolute no-nos) on the course during a round. [RELATED1] Check out Thompson's recent Instagram photo, which teases the association's strict new guidelines, as well as some of her most badass moments on and off the golf course. Thompson made it clear that her "throwback Thursday" post was just a joke, considering that the dress code was changed at the request of many of the players, not LPGA officials. Thompson is no newcomer to the game of golf—not in the slightest. At the age of just 12, she became the youngest golfer to ever qualify for the U.S. Women's Open. At 15, Thompson turned professional and set yet another record as the youngest player to ever win an LPGA tournament. Thompson qualified for LPGA membership in 2012, when she petitioned the association to receive a waiver to the rule that LPGA Tour members must be at least 18 years old—she was 17 at the time. The Florida native won her first major championship at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship. She has two brothers who also happen to be professional golfers—Nicholas Thompson plays on the PGA and Web.com Tours, and Curtis Thompson plays on the Web.com Tour. Throughout her career Thompson has been homeschooled, and graduated in 2012—the same year she qualified for LPGA membership.
