Lexi Thompson finished strong and placed 2nd in Mobile Bay LPGA Classic - April 29, 2012

Stacy Lewis fired a three-under par 69 on Sunday to hold off Lexi Thompson and win the $1.25 million Mobile Bay LPGA Classic by one stroke.

It was only the second career title for Lewis, whose only prior title in five LPGA seasons came last year at a women's golf major, the Kraft Nabisco.

Lewis enjoyed a three-stroke lead on the back nine but needed a clutch birdie at the par-5 16th and two closing pars to hold off fellow American Thompson, a 17-year-old who won her first title last year to earn an LPGA membership.

Lewis admitted it was a great relief to tap in for a par at 18 to finish 72 holes on 17-under 271. Thompson was a stroke adrift after a final-round 65 with France's Karine Icher third on 273 after a finishing 68.

Lewis began the round with a two-stroke lead over compatriot Brittany Lincicome and opened with back-to-back birdies, then added another on the par-5 sixth to seize command.

But Thompson, playing just ahead of Lewis, birdied the par-3 second and par-4 third, and added another at the sixth.

Thompson opened the back nine with a birdie and added back-to-back birdies at the par-5 13th and par-3 14th to pull within two strokes of Lewis.

When Lewis took a bogey at the par-4 15th and Thompson birdied the par-5 16th, the two were deadlocked atop the leaderboard.
