PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Stacy Lewis didn’t win her third consecutive LPGA stroke-play title Sunday at the Wegmans LPGA Championship, but she takes home a consolation prize with her tie for second place.
Lewis jumped over Yani Tseng and now leads the Rolex Player of the Year points race.
Lewis also is expected on Monday to move to No. 2 behind Tseng in the newest Rolex Women’s World Rankings.
There’s a lot of golf left this year, but no American has won the Rolex Player of the Year award since Beth Daniel in 1994. Asked for her reaction to leading the points race, Lewis shrugged her shoulders.
“Ask me in November and I may have a different answer,” Lewis said.
