The world of golf is promised an incredible competition. So who is Stacy Lewis? Keep reading to discover more about the American golfer and her enviable career.    ## **Two Grand Slams, but not without difficulty ** [Stacy Lewis](https://solheimcup2023.eu/es/stacy-lewis-nombrada-capitana-del-equipo-de-ee-uu-de-la-solheim-cup-2023/) had a troubled entrance into the world of golf. Before turning pro, she was **forced to undergo surgery for scoliosis**. But rather than walking away from her sporting career - as others perhaps might have - it seems that it spurred her on. And what a career she has had. As a **pro playing the LPGA Tour**, Lewis is known for having won two Grand Slams and played four editions of the Solheim Cup, which she will captain in 2023 for the American team. From a golf scholarship at the University of Arkansas and being  named an All-American player on several occasions to having won the **Kraft Nabisco in 2011 and the Women’s British Open in 2013, she is a player to be contended with. ** **![Stacy Lewis golf](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/b-13-Mar-24-2022-03-00-52-63-PM.png?width=730&name=b-13-Mar-24-2022-03-00-52-63-PM.png)**Fuente: Stacy Lewis   ## **At the top of the rankings** Lewis’ achievements **saw her hold the position of world number one for over 20 weeks between 2013 and 2014**. She has won an impressive 13 tournaments on the LPGA Tour. The 2023 edition of the Solheim Cup won’t be the first time she represents the United States, as she played for her country at both the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games and in previous editions of the Solheim Cup.    ## **The Solheim Cup, the next challenge** **Lewis has an interesting backstory with the Solheim Cup**. She has played no fewer than four editions, two of which (2011 and 2013) were two of her best ever years, when she won the Majors. She also played the 2015 and 2017 editions and in 2019 she was assistant to the then American captain. Out the four times she has played the tournament - which has the same format as the Ryder Cup - she saw victory twice. The US team won the 2015 and 2017 editions, losing to Europe in 2011 and 2013. With such well-balanced teams, the competition is always fierce and exciting. In 2019, when she was **assistant to Juli Inkster**, the US did not secure victory; the 2023 edition is therefore the perfect opportunity for [Lewis](https://solheimcup2023.eu/es/stacy-lewis-nombrada-capitana-del-equipo-de-ee-uu-de-la-solheim-cup-2023/https:/solheimcup2023.eu/es/stacy-lewis-nombrada-capitana-del-equipo-de-ee-uu-de-la-solheim-cup-2023/) and the Solheim Cup to once again cross paths. And the province of Malaga might just be the place where the US team once again raises the trophy in the air.  ![Stacy Lewis Solheim Cup](https://blog.visitacostadelsol.com/hs-fs/hubfs/c-13-Mar-24-2022-03-00-52-83-PM.png?width=730&name=c-13-Mar-24-2022-03-00-52-83-PM.png)Fuente: Solheim Cup 2023   ## **Next destination? The Costa del Golf ** The [Costa del Golf](https://www.visitcostadelsol.com/malaga-costa-del-sol/the-costa-del-golf?_ga=2.28745788.1862677743.1648132129-1250249413.1599472069) is therefore Lewis’ next great challenge. The golfer has said in [recent statements](https://www.marca.com/golf/2022/02/09/6203dad0e2704e1d538b45ec.html) that [Finca Cortesín](https://www.visitcostadelsol.com/malaga-costa-del-sol/the-costa-del-golf/golf-courses/finca-cortesin-golf-club-p15531?_ga=2.64972719.1862677743.1648132129-1250249413.1599472069) in [Casares](https://www.visitcostadelsol.com/destinations/villages-on-the-malaga-coast/casares-p9541?_ga=2.64972719.1862677743.1648132129-1250249413.1599472069) looks to be a “beautiful” course but that she is yet to spend time there studying every inch of the greens and fairways, which will be crucial for the success of her players. The nearly 3,000m course with its **18 holes** will make the perfect backdrop to the next Solheim Cup.  The Costa del Sol is **well-known as a world-class destination for golfers** and a favourite among players from around the world. The Solheim Cup, which is coming to the province from the 18 to the 23 September 2023, only serves to enhance this reputation.
