Stacy Lewis wins Mizuno Classic

Stacy Lewis won the Mizuno Classic last week thanks to a brilliant closing 64, the first time a Mizuno player has triumphed in a Mizuno event since 1987

Mizuno staff player Stacy Lewis produced a stunning final-day comeback to win the Mizuno Classic by one stroke from Korean Bo-mee Lee.

World number two Lewis went into the final round seven strokes behind Lee, needing a miracle to overturn the defect.

"It was pretty unexpected to make those last three birdies. They were all pretty long putts so it wasn't easy," Lewis said.

"I knew I was a ways back, but I thought if I got in to 10-under, it would be close. To shoot a 64 on the final day is always good."
