appearance in such an event.

Thompson is a home schooled 6th grader
from Coral Springs, Florida. Just 12
years old, she is headed to sectional
qualifying for the US Women's Open next
month, hoping to break Morgan Pressel's
record for the youngest player to make
the field. Thompson is competing in
the 15-18 year old division at this

week's Robertson, but hasn't batted an
eye.

TRAVIS WELLS:

ALEXIS:

Thompson struggled to a 79 in her first
ever round at the Robertson, but she'll
likely have several more chances down
the road.

The same cannot be said for
Salem's Aaron Eckstein. Eckstein is
bound for Virginia Tech next season
along with Fincastle's Marshall Bailey.
In his final crack at a Scott
Robertson trophy, Eckstein opened with
a 74.
