Stacy Lewis last Tweet should have been her first.

Your image is everything and on Twitter and Facebook the smart thing is to just say no. They say most employers are having HR look into a serious candidates online profile and some people cannot figure out why they do not have a job when they take their First Amendment Rights a little to seriously. For Stacy Lewis, she learned this over the weekend that blasting her opinion on Twitter should have been shared with her inner circle. In Beijing over the weekend, very nationalistic fans rooted for Shanshan Feng and often rudeness of the fans who cheered her misses at every opportunity.

Shanshan Feng’s dream finish Sunday in China was a bit nightmarish for Stacy Lewis.
Feng won the Reignwood LPGA Classic in Beijing. She’s from China, and Reignwood is one of her sponsors. Family and friends and a proud nationalistic following rooted for Feng in a final-round duel that proved very difficult for Lewis.
The way Feng won, it seemed predestined. She trailed Lewis by a shot at the 18th tee and closed with a dramatic eagle, thanks to an unlikely, terrific bounce. Feng’s second shot at the par-5 closing hole barely cleared a water hazard and hit hard ground, bouncing onto the green and off the flagstick. In a tweet, Lewis suggested it took a bounce off a rock.
Feng’s eagle gave her a one-shot victory against Lewis, who felt fortune and circumstances conspired against her.
“I feel like it was just taken from me,” Lewis said in her post-round news conference. “You’d like to win on a good shot, but, obviously, it wasn’t a good shot. It’s very frustrating. It was a frustrating day just with the crowds and dealing with all that. It was hard to play today.”
The final round was played in a heavy smog with some players wearing masks to filter the air they were breathing. All week long, players and caddies complained about fans taking photos.
Lewis expanded on the challenges via Twitter in these three tweets afterward:



Between all the cameras and cheering when I missed putts. It was just really hard to have fun out there. On to the next...

Hours later, it appears Lewis deleted two of the three tweets and then posted the following tweet, suggesting she is going to take a break from Twitter.


Now if we can get rid of the golf fan who yells "You the man," or "It's in the hole" on every shot.
