Lewis corralled her second LPGA Tour victory.

Thompson, who was in position to win the Mobile event last year but faltered on the final day, fired a 7-under 65 but still came up a bit short at minus-16.

Karine Icher's final-round 68 enabled her to take third at 15-under 273.

Sharing fourth place at 12-under 276 were So Yeon Ryu and Azahara Munoz (both 68s), as well as Karrie Webb (69), Brittany Lincicome (72) and Sun Young Yoo (70).
