dailyloe.com – Stacy Lewis, 41, played her final round as a full-time LPGA pro at the Chevron Championship, making a par putt on the 18th hole. She is four months pregnant with her second child and expected to miss the cut at this tournament held in Houston.
Lewis expressed her readiness for the next chapter, stating, “I’m ready for the next chapter, and ready to stop grinding over eight-footers like that on the last hole when it doesn’t matter.” This tournament holds significance as she won it in 2011, marking the start of her prime career.
Reflecting on her journey, Lewis recalled her past struggles with scoliosis and a spinal fusion surgery, saying, “I just think back to the kid in high school wearing a back brace… it’s really kind of a fairytale.” Her emotional sendoff featured her father as her caddie for the final hole, a role he played during her early golfing days.
Lewis’ husband suggested the switch for the last hole, emphasizing the importance of family. She appreciated the opportunity to share this moment with her father, who was present at the beginning of her career.
