STACY LEWIS WINS THE 2017 CAMBIA PORTLAND CLASSIC


"STACY LEWIS ENDS DROUGHT, WINS CAMBIA PORTLAND CLASSIC AND WILL DONATE WINNER'S CHECK TO HURRICANE RELIEF EFFORT"

"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 Sunday, will donate the whole of 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."

Lewis wins for Houston, donates $195K check

LPGA News by Randall Mell Sept. 03, 2017

Birdies never meant so much to Stacy Lewis.

Every shot she hit at a flagstick Sunday, every putt she poured in at the Cambia Portland Classic did more than take her a step closer to the trophy at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.

They led to a dramatic victory that brought the promise of more help to the people suffering in her Houston hometown.

Lewis played brilliant, inspired golf breaking through to end her three-year winless spell. She won her 12th LPGA title for those suffering from the epic rainfall and deadly flooding that destroyed so many homes and businesses in Houston.

Lewis won after announcing before the tournament started that she was going to donate her winnings in Portland to the Hurricane Harvey relief effort.

Golf fans rallied behind her, cheering Lewis’ run at the $195,000 first-place check.

“We are going to be able to help people rebuild houses and get their homes back,” Lewis said. “That’s more important than any win.”

"Lewis took a three-shot lead into Sunday and then held off a strong final-round charge by In Gee Chun. Lewis closed with a 3-under-par 69, finishing at 20 under for a one-shot victory over Chun (66). Lewis closed out with a two-putt par at the last."
