Lewis, who is poised to win her first tournament in three years, is donating her prize money, win or lose, to the victims of the storm once known as Hurricane Harvey which has killed at least 42 people and unleashed massive flooding that damaged up to 50,000 homes in Houston.
"I have been motivated," said Lewis, who shot a 65 Saturday to take a three shot lead into Sunday's final round of the LPGA Tour's Portland Classic.
"I am more appreciative. You think you got it pretty tough. The people down there got it way tougher than us. It puts things in perspective." If Lewis can hold onto her lead she would collect the winner's cheque of $195,000. If she finished second she would earn $120,000.
