PHOENIX – Stacy Lewis battled to the finish Sunday at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup, but it ended in what has become an all too familiar runner-up finish.
That’s 12 second-place finishes now for Lewis since her last victory at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship 33 months ago.
Lewis closed with a 4-under-par 68, finishing two shots behind Anna Nordqvist, the 54-hole leader.
This wasn’t a crushing defeat, though.
Lewis left sounding encouraged she’s getting her game where she wants it for the ANA Inspiration, the year’s first major championship, in two weeks.
