PRATTVILLE, Ala. — Stacy Lewis won the Navistar LPGA Classic on Sunday for her third LPGA Tour victory in five months, closing with a 3-under 69 to beat defending champion Lexi Thompson by two strokes.

Lewis parred the final two holes after a birdie on No. 16 gave her the final cushion, and Thompson shot a 66 on The Senator course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Capitol Hill complex.

Lewis also won in Mobile in late April, edging Thompson by a stroke in that tournament. The former Arkansas star also won the Shoprite LPGA Classic in June.

The 17-year-old Thompson rebounded from a third-round 74. She won the event last year at 16 to become the youngest champion in LPGA Tour history, a mark broken last month by 15-year-old amateur Lydia Ko in the Canadian Women’s Open.

Lewis finished at 18 under.

Hamilton’s Alena Sharp (72) tied for 37th at 7-under par, while Charlottetown’s Lorie Kane (75) tied for 55th at 2 under and Samantha Richdale (70) of Kelowna, B.C., finished in a group at 1 under, tied for 58th.
