-It's time now for the Comcast Business Edge. Stacy Lewis has ended the American dread of winning Player of the Year, becoming the 1st player since 1994 to win the honors. Lewis

that has added up to 221 points for the World Number 2, Stacy Lewis , which gives her a 53-point lead on Inbee Park. Enough for Lewis to clinch the Player of the Year honors. World numbers 1 and 2-time defending champion Yani Tseng is 3rd in the standings with 145 points and Jiyai Shin and Na Yeon Choi round out the top 5. It's clearly Stacy Lewis' breakthrough season with her 2 or leading 4 LPGA Tour victories which brings her career total up to 5. And in terms of top 10s, her 16 this year count for more than half of her total career top 10s. So, what was it in 2012 that gave Stacy Lewis such an edge? Here's Tripp Eisenhower. - Stacy Lewis spent much of her youth, in fact, 7 and a half years, wearing a back brace for up to 18 and a half hours a day. That kinda hardships puts determination and desire in your DNA and you can see that in her play now. She is one of the best closers in the game. Stacy Lewis , in fact, as Lar mentioned, 4 victories this year, 16 top 10s, very consistent season. She's 1st in birdies, 1st in eagles, 1st in rounds in the '60s on the LPGA. She hits a ton of greens. She's 2nd on the LPGA in greens and regulation. She does have a Major to her credit. Last year at the Nabisco, she won the Major Championship and I do not expect that to be her last Major Championship. But more amazingly, what Stacy Lewis has done, she has ended the drought for American players going back to 1994. In fact, the last time an American has won this title, Rolex Player of the Year. Stacy Lewis doing it this year, 17 international winners, the likes of, of course, Annika Sorenstam, 8 times, Lorena Ochoa, 4 times, Karrie Webb and Yani Tseng have rounded out that list. But I expect that Stacy Lewis , in fact, this will not be her last Player of the Year. I expect her to have an edge going forward with
