The 2008 edition was held at the Old Course at St Andrews in Scotland in late May and early June,[12] and was her last competition as an amateur. The U.S. won 13 to 7 for a sixth consecutive victory over Great Britain & Ireland.[13]

Lewis competed in seven events on the LPGA tour in 2008, with two top-10 finishes and earned over $247,000.[14]
