Lewis knows theres a ways to go, but she said a victory would rank among her most meaningful triumphs.It would honestly, probably, be one of the most special, Lewis said. It would probably be up there with a major. That was the goal to start the week ... to take a big check home. That's still the goal. Now I'm in a good spot to do that.The first-place check is $195,000.The tournament is also donating ticket sales to the relief effort.Whether Lewis takes home the winners check or not, she feels good about winning assistance for those in need in her hometown. She is also joining in University of Houston basketball coach Kelvin Sampsons shirts and shoes relief effort. Sampson has challenged coaches across the country to send 20 T-shirts and 10 pairs of shoes to help those suffering the effects of Hurricane Harvey. In Oregon, home to Nike, Lewis has challenged fellow players there to get involved in helping collect shoes.Hopefully, well take a bunch of shoes home and take a big check home, too, Lewis said.Lewis and her husband, University of Houston womens golf coach Gerrod Chadwell, have a home on the northeast side of Houston. While their house has been spared, they are intent on helping others who arent so lucky.
