Northwest Arkansas returned to the Ladies Professional Golf
Association’s schedule in 2007 hosting the Walmart Northwest
Arkansas LPGA Championship at Pinnacle Country Club. Arkansas has
been home to several events beginning with the Hardscrabble Women’s
Invita-tional Oct. 17-21, 1950, in Fort Smith, Ark. The event was
won by Patty Berg. The Hardscrabble Open returned to Fort Smith in
1952 and was followed by the Arkansas Open at the Country Club of
Hot Springs, in Hot Springs, Ark., in 1956. The LPGA added the
Walmart Northwest Arkansas Championship in 2007. The commitment
allows the Arkansas women’s golf team and the Northwest Arkansas
community to enjoy the sport at its best. The inaugural event in
2007 was spectacular for Arkansas fans. Then junior Stacy Lewis
earned a sponsor’s exemption to play in the event and she blistered
the course shooting a 65 in the first round. Eight inches of rain,
however, washed away Lewis’ “win” as the tournament was declared a
“non-event”. Lewis was awarded the trophy and invited back for the
2008 event.
