Thompson was able to think her way around the course fresh off of a T-2 finish at the U.S. Women's Open at the Country Club of Charleston. It was her third top-five finish in her last five events. In a lot of ways, it felt like another LPGA win for Thompson was inevitable. But at the same time, in those other two events, she'd missed the cut. Though momentum felt like it was building, her inconsistency made it difficult to see where Thompson's game was actually at. With the eagle on the 18th hole in New Jersey, however, Thompson seemed to be making it clear her game is in good shape. The missed cuts are the fluke, and the top-five finishes the norm.
