Stacy Lewis poses challenge to Asian rivals in South Korea
Current world number two Stacy Lewis is happy with the way things are going in her professional career, as the star golfer is now firm to finish off the current season in a style that will
be remembered for years.
As the 2012 LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) season is coming to a close and the limelight is on Asia these days, Lewis is being expected to push herself to the limit in order to
snatch the number one position from Taiwanese Yani Tseng.
The upcoming LPGA Hana Bank Championship can prove to be game changer for Lewis, if she manages to grab a title.
The LPGA Hana Bank Championship is going to start from October 19-21, at Incheon, South Korea, with Asian rivals ready to capitalise on home crowd, but players like Lewis cannot be overshadowed
as they are able to surprise fans in the most difficult conditions.
The LPGA titan displayed a stunning performance in the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia 2012 as she shot an overall 280 to finish tied for the 19th position on the leaderboard. Although
she was not able to win or finish inside the top 10, her number two spot in the Women’s World Golf Rankings has remained intact, which reflects that she is likely to further cement her position in the coming weeks.
Despite having improved her game, Lewis has not stopped training as hard as she did last year. She has worked hard on her putting, which is producing good results.
“One drill that I do every day on the practice green can help you make a more consistent stroke. Set up to a 10-footer like you normally would, then place a tee just outside the toe of your
putter. Going straight back on the same line, place another tee where your backstroke would end if you made a smooth, unhurried stroke,” she wrote in the latest edition of Golf Digest—something that reflects her commitment and aspirations for the sport.
Giving another tip to young golfers, Lewis further wrote: “Work on swinging the putterhead from the first tee back to the second, then let it release through the ball. You should feel no change
in grip pressure because your stroke just flows back and through”.
