Stacy Lewis says winning Jamie Farr Toledo Classic 2012 will mean a lot to her
Stacy Lewis, who is being regarded as the strongest American contender in the roster of Jamie Farr Toledo Classic 2012, has said that winning at the prestigious tournament will “mean a lot” to her.
The Jamie Farr Toledo Classic 2012 is set to start at Highland Meadows Golf Club, Ohio, from August 9-12.
Lewis told Toledo Free Press via an email that she has been waiting to play at Meadows, Toledo, as this is where she grew up playing golf. She wrote that she was born in Toledo, and has some nice memories about
the place.
“My parents were born and raised in Toledo. We moved when I was 2, but I have come back frequently. We still have lots of family in the area on my dad’s side and I feel so supported by them,” the American star
told.
Lewis, who kicked off the 2012 season in grand style, has been under public scrutiny as she is the only American player able to cut her Asian rivals down to size. Currently ranked second in the Women’s World
Golf Rankings, Lewis is expected to win the title at her birthplace.
Mentioning her last victory of the season, which she grabbed at the ShopRite LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Classic in June this year, Lewis said that she could not believe after she saw her name
atop the leaderboard because the field was loaded with most of the big names.
“I was being interviewed after a win and was speechless when I heard. I did not know how to react,” she said of the moments when she hoisted her trophy.
The LPGA star defeated Australian Katherine Hull by four strokes at the ShopRite LPGA Classic 2012. It was her second win for the current season.
In addition to wining two tournaments in 2012 season, Lewis has also recorded amazing finishes in some of the recent tournaments.
Lewis said that she will try her best to clinch a victory at Ohio this week, as she knows she is going to get plenty of support from fans, family and friends.
“I have a large contingent of family and friends and also the great people from Marathon [Petroleum Corporation] that will come follow me. They are known as the Lew Crew”.
