Let me start off by congratulating Stacy Lewis for winning the HSBC Women's Champions. Stacy, the defending LPGA Player of the Year, came out on top with a one-stroke victory over Na Yeon Choi. Paula Creamer finished two strokes back. See the Constructivist's review for the full details.
The LPGA will now take a one-week break while it makes its way to the United States for the playing of the RR Donnelley Founders Cup. This is a good time to look at some statistics and notes covering the first three tournaments of the year:
