Former University of Arkansas All-American golfer and LPGA Tour star Stacy Lewis gave birth to her first child, a baby girl, on Thursday.
Lewis, a 12-time winner on the LPGA Tour which includes two major championships, shared news of the arrival of Chesnee Lynn Chadwell on her Twitter account Sunday, with a photo of her daughter wrapped in a blanket and a bow-tied, baby head wrap. Lewis and her husband, Gerrod Chadwell, reside in Houston, where Chadwell is the women's golf coach at the University of Houston.

Lewis, 33, has been on LPGA maternity leave since July 16, the day after finishing up the Marathon Classic, her last tour start of the year.
Lewis told GolfChannel.com late in the summer that she was planning to return to the LPGA for the 2019 season opener at the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions on Jan. 17-20 at Lake Buena Vista, Fla. She's hoping to make her return with her daughter accompanying her.
"Assuming everything goes OK, we will use that event as a test run, to kind of see how things go," Lewis said in late August. "I would like to play, just to get that travel thing down, and get into a routine with the baby and then kind of figure out things as we go.
"I don't know what to expect. I don't know how it's going to be. People have told me how it's going to be, but, until you go through it, you don't really know."
Lewis, the former world No. 1 and two-time Rolex Player of the Year, left for maternity leave saying she was eager to win again as a mother.
"I just want to show people and kind of prove to myself that you can have a family, have a career, be successful out here, and you can travel, sometimes travel all over the world," Lewis said.
Game 3 by the numbers
Game 3 of the World Series, an exhausting 3-2, 18-inning victory by the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Boston Red Sox, was one of the zaniest games in World Series history. Here are some statistics related to Friday's game:
• 18 innings, which tied the record for most innings in a postseason game.
• 7 hours 20 minutes The game's length made it the longest postseason game in major league history.
• 7 hours 5 minutes The total playing time of the 1939 World Series, a four-game sweep by the Yankees over the Cincinnati Reds.
• 46 players used, out of 50, a World Series record.
• 561 pitches thrown in the game.
• 296 The average number of pitches thrown in a 2018 regular-season game.
• 61 pitches thrown by Red Sox starting pitcher Rick Porcello.
• 97 pitches thrown by Red Sox relief pitcher Nathan Eovaldi.
• 131 plate appearances.
• 74 Dodgers' plate appearances without an extra-base hit until Joc Pederson's third-inning home run.
• 2 errors, one by Red Sox second baseman Ian Kinsler and another by Dodgers relief pitcher Scott Alexander, both in the 13th inning, both allowing a run.
• 6 position switches in the outfield by Boston's Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley Jr.
• 1 Walkoff home runs in Max Muncy's major league career. His game-ending home run in Game 3 was the first one by a Dodger in the World Series since Kirk Gibson's blast in 1988.
