Marathon Petroleum Signs Sponsorship with LPGA Tour Star Stacy Lewis
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
FINDLAY, Ohio, Jan. 23, 2012 - Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: MPC)
announced today that it has signed a sponsorship agreement with Stacy Lewis. The
26-year-old professional golfer is coming off a memorable 2011 season in which
she captured her first major at the Kraft Nabisco Championship, had 12 top ten
finishes and was ranked fourth on the LPGA money list.
"I am thrilled about my new partnership with Marathon Petroleum," says Lewis.
"I grew up in Northwest Ohio, so partnering with them has special meaning."
Lewis has become one of the world's best golfers and one of its most consistent.
Lewis turned pro in 2008 following one of the most decorated amateur careers of
the past decade. As a member of the University of Arkansas women's golf team,
she was a four-time All American, won 12 collegiate tournaments and captured the
2007 NCAA Division I National Championship. The No. 1 ranked amateur in the
nation in 2007 and 2008, Lewis earned her LPGA Tour card after winning
Qualifying School. In addition to her accomplishments on the golf course, she
continues to inspire thousands of scoliosis patients around the world by
reaching the top echelon of her sport despite playing with a metal rod and five
screws surgically fused in her back.
"MPC is pleased to partner with Stacy and proud she will be displaying our logo.
She exemplifies the same values of integrity, hard work and a drive to succeed
that we at MPC believe are a core part of our business. We look forward to a
long and successful relationship with Stacy," said Tom Kelley, senior vice
president, Marketing.
