Lexi Thompson found an alternative to practice her short game in a closed golf range. She often posts about tournament updates and golf practice sessions on her social media platforms. Recently, she was practicing golf in the backyard of her house and shared the video.

In her Instagram story, Thompson was dressed in a t-shirt and shorts. She was practicing golf and took a shot in front of the back wall of her house. The shot didn't travel any distance and bounced back. The story was captioned with:

“When the range is closed but the driveway is open.”
