LPGA 2013 for Stacy Lewis
The future seems all bright and shiny for the Toledo-born Stacy Lewis, as she has had a rather good 2012 LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) season.
Lewis won the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour’s Player of the Year award in the season. What makes winning the award even greater is that she is the first American in 18 years,
and since Beth Daniel in 1994, to have won the award.
Way to go down the history books.
Stacy Lewis’s game is akin to an anchor: steady. Since turning professional after the Curtis Cup victory in 2008, she has won a tournament every year, and not every other year as some would
have it.
In 2009, she became a member of the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour. That is to say, she secured her card to play in the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour.
In 2011, she clinched a victory at the 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship. The 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship had been a major, for her and delighted fans.
The most memorable moment at the Kraft Nabisco Championship – forever etched in their memories – was the way she led the tournament from the second round.
She had held her ground, refusing to budge to the mounting pressure that was defending champion and world no. 1 Yani Tseng.
The win – and let there be no doubt about it – heralded her arrival on world stage.
Incidentally, and also quite humourously, her official website, after her Ladies Professional Golf Association Player of the Year award win, struck out “The Next Great American Golfer” with
a suitable replacement: “The Best”
So, she won the 2011 Kraft Nabisco Championship. In 2012, came yet another spectacular win. Stacy Lewis won another four tournaments.
This was also the year she won her Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour Player of the Year award, being the first American to bag the award since Beth Daniel did way back in 1994.
What will 2013 bring for her you say? Given her aforementioned steady game style, there will be another tournament win. Perhaps a major title or more. What we can say for sure is this: she
will only improve.
