PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Stacy Lewis doesn’t see another runaway at this year’s Wegmans LPGA Championship.
Locust Hill isn’t set up for it, she says.
“The golf course is a lot tougher than it has been the last couple years,” said Lewis, who will be trying to win her third consecutive LPGA stroke-play event. “I don’t see anyone running away.”
Paula Creamer said the fairways and rough are set up to make scoring more difficult.
“The fairways are more narrow than they were last year, and the rough is the thickest I’ve ever seen it,” Creamer said.
Lewis chuckled watching the maintenance crew work Tuesday night.
“I saw the mowers out, and they weren’t cutting anything off,” Lewis said.
Blame Yani Tseng and Cristie Kerr and the way they routed the fields here the last two years. Tseng posted 19-under to win by 10 shots last year. Kerr posted 19-under to win by 12 two years ago.
