Stacy Lewis becomes New #1 in the World!

She left out a bunch of stuff.  I wish she didn't say it was almost like cheating.  When Pros bring levels to the green during practice rounds to measure exact slopes, and create maps, that is much more detailed and closer to an unfair advantage than AimPoint.

Closer, maybe, but neither of them are even remotely close to illegal or cheating.  Plus, that's something that can be used in conjunction with aimpoint ... give you a little head start on your read each time out there.  But I totally agree ... wish she didn't say "cheating" either, more fuel for "haters."

FWIW, Stacy Lewis is in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 for the first time.

you can have perfect zero degree putting stroke like some Pro´s still dont make putts.

Once your skill is good enough you shouldnt miss much within 15 feet.

Uh huh.

I'll give you ten thousand dollars if I can give you 50 putts from 15 feet and if you can make 25 or more of them on your first attempt. You give me $500 if you fail. I pick the putts.

Dunno about "feeling bad" for her caddy.

After that 'war dance' he did in the bunker and the ensuing audible conversation about the surface whilst... "not going in to test the bunker", I would have sacked him 'a la' Ian Moosnam and the 15 club incident,,Harsh?

Kudos to her for 'copping it sweet', and how the commentators applauded her ...but really what choice was there for her, it was so obvious.
