Thompson had worked hard to get the wrist taped up, and received treatment to overcome the injury, but she admitted that the pain was still there.

The pain in Thompson’s wrist became evident during the tournament. However, today she shared a story on her Instagram, “Well, good news about my hand, it was inflammation around a tendon. So with the right treatment, it will hopefully be a speedy recovery! Look forward to playing the next two weeks.”

Thompson is known for her intense approach to the game, often dedicating two hours a day to putting practice. In preparation for the Chevron Championship, she placed particular emphasis on ball-striking. Despite suffering from a wrist injury, Thompson has maintained a positive attitude and was seen in good spirits at the Champions Dinner in Texas, sharing laughter with former Solheim Cup captains, Juli Inkster and Pat Hurst. With years of experience playing in major tournaments, Thompson understands the level of dedication required to win. She secured her first and only major title at the 2014 Chevron Championship, where she triumphed over Michelle Wie West by a margin of three strokes.
