Lexi Thompson revealed how she has been spending her free time. Thompson explained how she works out and practices golf whenever she wants. Lexi has also been binge-watching a few shows during her sitting time. She stated during the post-round interview on April 25 (as per ASAP Sports):

"I always say that I should because I probably will be bored, but it's just so nice not doing anything. It's just so nice just sitting around. I mean, I'll work out an hour or two a day and still practice here and there. You know, it's nice to just, I don't know, I'm just going to binge watch a show, just sit on my couch."

Lexi Thompson went on to explain that she is considering taking up a hobby and working in an animal shelter. She stated:

"Never really had the opportunity to do that that much, so it's nice to do that. But I probably will pick up a hobby. I'm looking into maybe volunteering at an animal shelter or something like that. I love animals. Something to keep me busy."

"Yeah, we're watching Lexi here. Lexi is super strong in the way she gets a golf ball. Just like the noise and how much hit it has on it is very unique."

Along with this, Max Homa mentioned that he is a massive LPGA fan. He remarked:

"I'm a fan of the LPGA tour, a fan of the players. So, you know, when you're in the area, you want to get to watch it, not on TV. So obviously, I think it's important for us to keep bringing awareness to just how amazing these women are at golf."
