Player Notes:

Started playing golf at the age of eight. Credits her parents for encouraging her to play even after having back surgery as the individuals most influencing her career. From the age of 11, Lewis wore a back brace 18 hours per day for 7 ½ years to correct curvature in her spine from scoliosis, removing it only to play golf. Had back surgery during her senior year of high school and redshirted for one season before joining the University of Arkansas women’s golf team. Hobbies include working out, watching any sports especially SEC football, traveling and having spare time to herself. Qualified for the Tour on her first attempt.

She was the 2005 Southeastern Conference (SEC) Freshman of the Year, the 2007 NCAA Division I National Champion and the 2008 SEC Championship Individual Medalist and Player of the Year.
