At the CME Group Tour Championship, the final of the year in the LPGA Tour, she missed an incredible shot on the green. If she made it, she would have secured the playoff. But no, she lost the tournament in an incredible way.

Perhaps around 60 centimeters separated her ball from hole 18, as can be seen on YouTube. However, the ball took a wayward direction. This resulted in Thai golfer Ariya Jutanugarn winning the championship.
Despite the tough defeat, Lexi Thompson won 1 million euros for being the best player of the year. She could have been number 1 in the rankings, but the mistake left her in fourth place.
"I don't know what happened, something went wrong with my hands and the shot went to the right. I putted really well all day, I guess it was the adrenaline," she confessed afterwards.
