The former number 1 golfer in the world, Stacy Lewis, talks about her transition from amateur golf to the professional level and the responsibilities she’s had to adjust to playing on the LPGA Tour. Professional golf wasn’t always on the mind of Lewis though, it wasn’t until about her junior year of college at Arkansas, after she won the national championship, that she seriously considered professional golf as a career. But with professional status comes pro-am parties, pro-am’s, extra events, media and much more that can fill the schedule of a professional athlete very quickly. Learning to balance time is an adjustment all rookies have to go through, regardless of the sport. Take a look at this video and get an inside look at the life of a LPGA Tour player!
Lewis will be in the field this week for the US Women’s Open at Sebonack Country Club in Sebonack, New York. But the competition will be tough as Na Yeon Choi looks to defend her title and Park Inbee, a favorite for the tournament and current number 1, is looking to blinch her third major crown of the year. She’s also won 5 times in her 12 starts this season already – be sure to tune in for the tournament!
