Former Arkansas golf standout Lisa Cornwell counting her blessing

FAYETTEVILLE — Former Fayetteville High and Arkansas golf standout and current Golf Network personality Lisa Cornwell was all smiles Tuesday at the Blessing Golf Course.

She was on hand for a press conference heralding the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Golf Championships, which will run May 16-29 at the course founded by Tyson Foods Chairman John H. “Johnny” Tyson.

Cornwell, who was the first women's scholarship golfer at Arkansas after transferring home from SMU, has worked with the Golf Channel since Jan. 1, 2014 and was on the dias Tuesday with LPGA and former Arkansas player Stacy Lewis and current players Gabby Lopez and Maria Fassi.
