NAPLES, Fla. – Stacy Lewis rarely sneaks into a tournament.

The former world No. 1, the only American to win the Rolex Player of the Year Award (twice) or Vare Trophy (twice) in the last 25 years, remains a formidable presence in the game, albeit one in transition as a new mom on tour.

But even Lewis didn’t expect to make it into this week’s CME Group Tour Championship.

After withdrawing from the Solheim Cup with a fractured rib two months ago, Lewis fully expected her season was over.
