LPGA Tour: Stacy Lewis to top of standings

Stacy Lewis won the LPGA Founders Cup in Phoenix to jump to No 1 in the world, taking advantage of Ai Miyazato’s collapse on the 16th hole.

A day after Lewis was penalised two strokes for her caddie testing the sand in a bunker on the short par 4, the American took a two-stroke lead with a birdie on the hole after Miyazato made a double bogey after finding an unplayable lie. Coming off a win two weeks ago in Singapore, 28-year-old Lewis won for the seventh time in her Tour career to end Yani Tseng’s 109-week run at No 1. She said: “That was my goal kind of since the middle of last year and I really didn’t think it would be possible this quick. I’m going to have fun. I watched Yani struggle with it for too long and I’m going to go have fun.”

Scotland’s Catriona Matthew sits at No 13 in the rankings.
