Curtis Cup star Alexis (15) misses cut on LPGA debut as a pro
Seven days after starring for the United States in their Curtis Cup victory over Great Britain and Ireland, 15-year-old Alexis Thompson missed the cut on her debut as a professional in the Shoprite LPGA Classic at Galloway, New Jersey.
Thompson had rounds of 71 and 76 for 147 - three shots over the projected cut-off mark.
Janice Moodie looks as though she is going out too. She is on 144 after scores of 71 and 73.
Becky Morgan is a definite non-qualifier with 72 and 76 for 148.
But Catriona Matthew (136), Laura Davies (138), Mhairi McKay (141) and Karen Stupples (142) have all beaten the cut with varying degrees of ease.
+In contrast to Alexis Thompson's early exit, US Curtis Cup team-mate Jennifer Song, on her pro debut, is leading the field in this weekend's Futures Tour event.
