Amateur Karah Sanford values more than the playing advice she is getting from Stacy Lewis at the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout this week.
Sanford shot a 2-under-par 69 Friday to make the cut in her first LPGA event. She’s 14.
Sanford, who was diagnosed with scoliosis when she was 8, made a special connection with Lewis this week. Lewis, the two-time LPGA Rolex Player of the Year, was diagnosed with scoliosis when she was 11 and grew up wearing a back brace for seven years before undergoing spinal surgery.
Sanford met and spoke to Lewis during Tuesday’s pro-am party.
