Lewis claims third 2014 victory using Mizuno JPX irons and MP wedges
Norcross, Ga. (July 1, 2014) – Mizuno Brand Ambassador Stacy Lewis captured her third LPGA tour victory of the year in dramatic fashion on Sunday. Lewis’ bag included JPX-825 Pro Irons, MP wedges in addition to two new JPX prototypes – a Hybrid and 3-wood. Lewis birdied three of the final four holes to win the tournament by one shot at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Ark.
Lewis, a four-time All-American at University of Arkansas, was a fan favorite and overcame a slow start Friday to shoot a 6-under 65 on Sunday and claim victory. After posting 2-over on the first four holes of the tournament, Lewis set a blistering pace by shooting 14-under over the next 68 holes claiming the 11th victory of her career.
“Stacy has already had an unbelievable year. First it was a win at the Shoprite Classic to claim the No. 1 spot in the world, now it’s a victory at her college hometown she loves so dearly,” said Chuck Couch, Vice President of Product Management, Golf Division, Mizuno USA. “We’d like to congratulate Stacy on her 11th career LPGA Tour victory and third of 2014. We’re excited to see what the rest of the year holds.”
The incredible impact and influence of golf on the LPGA’s No. 1 player transcends the sport, providing an incredible story beyond the greens. Recently, as part of Mizuno’s popular Play Famously campaign, a powerful video, “Golf vs. Scoliosis,” was released showcasing Lewis’ drive and determination to overcome a medical condition that could have sidelined her career before it even started.
