LPGA Tour

Stacy Lewis secured her 10th LPGA Tour win at the ShopRite LPGA Classic Presented by Acer finishing with a 16-under par 197. Her six-shot victory moved her into the coveted No. 1 spot in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings and consequently ended fellow AJGA alum Inbee Park’s 59-week span at the top.

Lewis played in eight AJGA tournaments during the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Her junior career was highlighted by a T4 finish at the 2002 Aaron’s / Bob Estes Abilene Junior and a seventh-place finish at the 2002 Junior All-Star at Colonial.

The most decorated women’s golfer in the University of Arkansas history, her collegiate career concluded as a four-time All-SEC and four-time All-American selection. Lewis was a two-time SEC champion, as a freshman in 2005 and as a senior in 2008. As a junior, she won the 2007 NCAA individual title and was presented the Dinah Shore Trophy.
