Thompson’s shank on the 18th hole Friday was a key moment at the Solheim Cup, but so too was her post-round press conference.
Despite not playing in this year’s Solheim Cup, Jessica Korda has come to Lexi Thompson’s defense.
After Friday’s fourball round, in which Thompson and Lilia Vu lost to Leona Maguire and Georgia Hall, Thompson and U.S. Captain Stacy Lewis got testy in the press conference.

Shedeur Sanders arrived to Autzen Stadium with a determined look on his face as No. 19 Colorado (3–0) faces one of its toughest games of the season in a road matchup against No. 10 Oregon (3–0) on Saturday afternoon.
He also had some esteemed company alongside him.
The Buffaloes quarterback—donning his shades—entered the Ducks’ premises with Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens early Saturday afternoon as Colorado looks to keep its unblemished season intact through Week 4.
Clemson needed a new kicker this week, so coach Dabo Swinney called a familiar name who wasn’t even playing football anymore. Jonathan Weitz, Clemson’s former backup kicker, returned to the team this week despite preparing for a job in the real world.
Weitz was a walk-on at Clemson from 2019 to ’22, but he spent the entirety of his career behind B.T. Potter, the Tigers’ all-time leader in field goals. Both Potter and Weitz moved on from the team after last year, with Potter in the NFL and Weitz headed to the next phase of his life.

Zhang could not get the putter working late in her round on Saturday, as she ultimately lost her match in afternoon fourballs.
Rose Zhang played admirably on Saturday, beginning her match with an eagle on the drivable par-4 1st hole.
But her putter, which was red hot Friday, cooled off down the stretch, ultimately costing her and Andrea Lee the match.
Madelene Sagstrom and Emily Pedersen defeated Zhang and Lee 2 & 1 on Saturday afternoon, thus giving Team Europe its 7th point in the Solheim Cup.
The hype around Saturday’s game between No. 19 Colorado and No. 10 Oregon in Eugene is at a palpable level due to the incredible job Deion Sanders has done in resurrecting a Buffaloes program that is off to a surprising 3-0 start.
The Buffs, darlings of college football, are dominating headlines due to their swagger, bravado and explosive offense. But some Colorado players might have given the Ducks even more motivation for the matchup Saturday morning during a pregame walkthrough at Autzen Stadium.
On Monday night, Nick Chubb suffered an injury so gruesome the ESPN broadcast refused to show the replay. Most of us can’t comprehend what the Cleveland Browns’ star running back is dealing with.
But if anyone understands, it’s Napoleon McCallum.
McCallum is a Navy veteran who played running back for the Los Angeles Raiders. But in 1994, he suffered a career-ending injury on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers. So when the 59 year old saw Chubb’s injury, he got flashbacks.
“It’s hard to watch, and it brings back so many memories,” McCallum told TMZ Sports.
Texas A&M just found itself in a more dire situation, with quarterback Connor Weigman exiting the game with a lower body injury against Auburn.
Now, Jimbo Fisher is turning to LSU transfer Max Johnson, who might have to lead the Aggies for a sustained period of time. The injury came on the Aggies last possession of the first half, when Weigman took a monster hit in the end zone.
The Aggies quarterback looked to be in serious pain as he limped towards the huddle, taking one more snap before the drive stalled. As Weigman went towards the sidelines, ESPN reported that he was yelling in pain.
Here’s everything you need to know injury-wise for Week 3.
In the Bay area today and looking for something to do? Well, search for a few quarters in your sofa and head on over to the Arizona-Stanford showdown!
OK, that’s mean. Not just a few quarters. A few dollars. Have some respect!
Seriously, though — it’s the cheapest thing you’ll do all day in California by a country mile and probably the cheapest college football game in the country today.
Hell, I live by Stetson — a non-scholarship D-1 team — and I promise you their game against the Butler Bulldogs right now costs more.
As the slate of college football games get underway in Week 4, Lee Corso has already made his suggestion for ESPN College GameDay’s next stop.
The longtime analyst on ESPN’s weekly pregame show shared that the GameDay crew should visit Durham, N.C., for the Duke vs. Notre Dame matchup at Wallace Wade Stadium in Week 5.
The show made the trip to South Bend, Ind., this week as the No. 9 Fighting Irish face one of their toughest tests this season in a top-10 battle against No. 6 Ohio State.
