PORTLAND, Ore. -- 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, 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 and first time 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 by a stroke at tree-lined Columbia Edgewater.

Lewis embraced and kissed husband Gerrod Chadwell, the University of Houston women's golf coach, on the 18th green.
