Stacy Lewis, one of two female professionals to win on the Old Course, reminisces on what she calls ‘the coolest place in golf’

Stacy Lewis will have one eye on the Home of Golf this week as she competes in the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational in Midland, Michigan. As one of only two female professionals to ever win on the Old Course, with Lorena Ochoa being the first in 2007, Lewis considers it to be “the coolest place” in golf.

Lewis, of course, won the 2013 AIG Women’s British Open at St. Andrews and, in 2008, became the first player to go 5-0 in the Curtis Cup over the Old Course. That week also started a special relationship between the Lewis family and the famed Dunvegan Hotel, which used to be owned by Texas native Jack Willoughby and his wife Sheena, a native Scot.
