She wont last long in more competitive golf

Lexi Thompson. Too young to play in the L.P.G.A.?

Lexi Thompson has the qualifications to play in the L.P.G.A. She has the oppotunity of cracking Tiger Woods glory of being the 20 year old conference winner. She might need to improve her game if she goes to into the L.P.G.A. I Think she would be a great contender in the conference!

She Can Play!

I think Lexi Thompson should be able to join the LPGA if she can successfully compete with the older more experienced. She could endorse something like Gatorade or women's golf equipment.

L.P.G.A.

I think she should be a part of the L.P.G.A. since she has already proved she can play with all the other golfers. It could bring a lot of excitement to the sport.

The Girl that Changed the Game

I think if she can keep up so well and make good compition for the rest of the players she should be able to join the L.P.G.A. because she has all the characteristics of a normal aged golf player. She could also succcesfully endorce products like Cover Girl, Golf Magizine, and Glamour.

16 year old too young to play i the LPGA?

I think that she should be able to play in the LPGA because she has talent. Having a younger player could make the competitions more interesting. And she can promote golfing equipment/clothes.

16!! Thats the age

16 is the new age of the youngest L.P.G.A winner. Never before has this done in the teens years of a person, and never before has anyone reached their potential so quickly.

LPGA

I believe she should play in the LPGA if she has the talent,-- which she does. It would make the LPGA more exciting to watch.

16-Year-Old Becomes Youngest to Win on L.P.G.A. Tour

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/19/sports/lexi-thompson-16-becomes-youngest-to-win-on-lpga-tour.html?_r=1&ref=golf

I find it very impressive to have won a Professional Golf event at 16. To have beat the age that Tiger Woods won his first Profesional Golf of 20 makes it so much more impressive. I would like to see her talent and skills in golf in a few years.

Michael Vick threw a pass early in the third quarter on Sunday night against the Falcons. The issue was that the pass wasn't actually a interception, Kelvin Hayden had not cleanly caught it. But Andy Reid the Eagles coach, wasn't given a replay from the booth to challenge the play. This may have led to the Falcons victory of 35-31 over the Eagles. The broadcasters for the Sunday night game on NBC apoligized for a delayed replay.

FIFA Technology Moving Too Slow

Soccer referees are changing the outcomes of many soccer games. They are taking back goals from teams who, in instant replays, obviously scored a good goal. The only thing keeping players from scoring are the referees. In the 2010 World Cup Frank Lampart's goal was taken away because the only person who didn't see the ball go over the line was the referee. FIFA is not permitting the use of instant replay to affect rulings from referees.

This was only the second meeting in two moths of this lockout. The agreement they are looking to come to is the revenue split for coaches and players. Also the salary cap for the players.

Manchester United

The recent week Manchester United v. Arsenal was more of an illumination of Arsenal's flaws and not Manchester United's strength. While known for thier successful history and 19 English Premier league titles, the dismal display Arsenal only served to maybe unduely emphasize Manchester United's strength. Arsenal has not been a club known for thier strong performances but this year looked different. They were able to scout better players but the recent game where the game ended with Manchester 8 and Arsenal with a dismal 2 just went to show the epic defensive flaws for the gunners. This will not be the year for the gunners and the season has yet to fully unfold showing what Manchester United brings to the table. But at first glance Manchester United will probably steam roll to the top of the premier league.
