A notable American female golfer currently playing in the LPGA Tour, Stacy Lewis can be listed as one of those top celebrities whose career might never have started because, at the tender age of 11, the budding star was treated for a clinical condition known as scoliosis which is associated with spinal curvature. As a sufferer of scoliosis, she wears a brace on her back for 18 hours every day, but despite this setback, Stacy was impressively active in her junior golf career.
According to the budding golf star, playing the game turned into a sanctuary for her because that was one of the rare occasions that the back braces can be removed. She told Golf Digest in an interview that she gravitated towards golf because it was giving her the opportunity to get out of the back braces for six hours daily. Stacy concluded by mentioning that if she had been born with a healthy back, chances are that we might not have heard of Stacy Lewis. Today the golfing champion is a two-time winner of major championships namely; the Women’s British Open in 2013 as well as Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2011.
