It was closer than Stacy Lewis probably wanted it to be, but in the end, Lewis still got the job done, capturing the Cambia Portland Classic presented by JTBC by one shot over In Gee Chun. Lewis, who fired a 3-under-par 69, donated her winner’s check – $195,000 – to the relief efforts in her adopted hometown of Houston, Texas. It was Lewis’ first win on the LPGA Tour since 2014.

“I’m more relieved just knowing that I can pull the shots off when I need to. I knew I could win, but it’s always hard,” said Lewis, who finished runner-up 12 times since her last victory. Lewis’ husband is the head women’s golf coach at the University of Houston, and Lewis herself moved to the town, recently devastated by the effects of Hurricane Harvey.
