Stacy wins for Houston

-

Stacy Lewis came through for her hurricane-ravaged hometown — and ended a long winless streak. The Houston-area player won the Cambia Portland Classic on Sunday in Oregon, with her $195,000 in winnings going to the relief efforts. Her sponsor, KMPG, also pledged to match the donation.

The 32-year-old Lewis won her 12th LPGA Tour title but first since June 2014, ending a frustratin­g stretch that included 12 runner-up finishes. She closed with a 3-under 69 to hold off In Gee Chun (66) by one shot.

Lewis, who entered the day with a three-shot lead, parred the final 11 holes in finishing at 20-under 268.

l PGA champion Justin Thomas made three long birdies on a long, wet TPC Boston in Norton, Mass., for a tournament-best 63, giving him a share of the lead with Marc Leishman (65) going into a Labor Day finish in the Dell Technologi­es Championsh­ip. They were at 12-under 201.

Paul Casey shot 67 and was one behind. Jordan Spieth (66) birdied his last two holes and was among those two back. Dustin Johnson (66) birdied four of his last five holes and was three behind.
