Stacy Lewis FTW

[BruceMGF]

1. Stacy Lewis, go jump in a lake! Oh, you did? That's what happens when you win Kraft-Nabisco.   First win ever, and a major.

2. Who knew how far she could hit? Playing partner Yani Tseng, supposedly the longest driver out there, was overswinging to keep up.

3.  Five out of the top six finishers were American.  The low Korean was T10.  Is this really the LPGA?   Not some retro version?

4.  Michelle Wie, despite a final round that could graciously be described as "lackluster", gets her first top 10 in a major since 2006.  Wow.  I didn't realize it had been that long.

5.  Morgan Pressel ...  ah ... well, lackluster too I guess.   The luster was five birdies in the final round.  The lack was a double bogey.  And a triple bogey.  And a quadruple bogey.  I think she hit for the cycle.  And still a stroke ahead of Michelle.

Yes great win for Stacy and the American women...my wife I watched the final round and it was very exciting...I also was impressed with how humble Stacy is and I hope this now gets her careeer going...and another 2011 big win for Mizuno!

Considering her medical history (diagnosed with scoliosis which was treated by spinal fusion while in high school), this must be extra gratifying for her (and her family).  Her ball striking was very impressive (compared to Tseng).

I read that her Mom got hurt jumping into the pond.  It was a great win by a very petite woman.  Her accuracy in the final round was excellent.

Sigh.  I was afraid that would happen some day at that tournament.

Great tradition but I'm surprised that happened I don't know if I heard she got hurt. It was a great tournament to watch and I agree she was a very humble winner and as her first LPGA and major championship win I'm excited to see where her career is going after this.

I got to see it live, those women are pretty darn good. A lot of them can bomb it and there short game play is what makes them good. Its nice seeing the difference between the womens and mens games.  I would recommend to anyone if they get a chance to check out a LPGA event anytime.

Great win for Stacy.  It was nice to see her take the win playing so much newer Mizuno equipment too.  Her driver, 3-wood and irons are JPX-800s and her wedges are MP T-11s.

I really enjoy watching the women play.  Specifically, I like watching them swing.  Most all of them have such a nice smooth, yet powerful swing.

I'm planning on going for at least one day to the US Women's Open at The Broadmoor this year.

Nice win for Stacey and the LPGA...  First, she held off the tough yani tseng... secondly , LPGA could use more sponsors if americans win more often at home courses.

LPGA needs to market their players better also and hopefully show more coverage on tv.

Two years ago I went to the Safeway Classic in Oregon and spent the day just absorbing the easy, graceful, rhythmic way they all swing the club. The next day I played and told myself to swing the way I saw. Shot a 78, and it was easy.
