Thompson falls to No. 301 in world golf rankings

After four outstanding years on the PGA Tour, Rincon/University High grad Michael Thompson is struggling. He has dropped to No. 301 in the world rankings and No. 157 on the money list ($271,977). He recently parted ways with his instructor of 15 years, Tucsonan Susie Meyers. Thompson retains full playing privileges for the rest of the 2015 season, and is in the field for this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson.
