Professional golfer Lexi Thompson has broken through a long slump with her first victory in over three years to win the Aramco Team Series on Saturday, Oct. 15, at Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in New York.

The LET (Ladies European Tour) event victory moved Thompson to No. 7 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings—following her three-shot victory with a final round of 69, following rounds of 71–65, for a total of 205 (–11).
The 11-time LPGA Tour winner finished three strokes ahead of Brooke Henderson (68) and Madelene Sagstrom (69) who tied for second at –8.
Thompson began the final round one shot ahead of fellow Floridian Nelly Korda—who finished fourth at –7.
