STACY LEWIS SHOWS MATCH-PLAY METTLE WITH GRITTY 2-UP WIN AT BANK OF HOPE

“United States Solheim Cup captain Stacy Lewis showed up and showed out on the first day of the Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play presented by MGM Rewards, defeating Scotland’s Gemma Dryburgh, 2 up, on Wednesday at Shadow Creek. Dryburgh took an early 1-up lead with a birdie on the par-5 fourth and Lewis responded quickly with a birdie on the par-3 fifth to tie the match. A Lewis eagle on No. 7 gave her a 1-up lead, which she held for two holes until Dryburgh parred the 10th to once again pull into a tie. Lewis got back to 1 up with a birdie on hole 12, but Dryburgh flipped the match, winning the next two holes to move to 1 up with four to play.”
