Brittany Grace Lincicome was born on September 19, 1985 is famous for being an American expert golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour.
Start of Golf Career
Lincicome was born in St. Petersburg, Florida. She developed a passion for golf and took an interest in more than 100 novice matches. Her big wings include the American Junior Golf Association Chateu Elan in 2001 and 2003 and the Avilla Junior Classic in 2003. In 2004, she won the Harder Hall Invitational. Lincicome competed in both the 2004 U.S. Ladies' Open and the 2004 State Farm Classic on the LPGA Tour as a novice. As a 12-year-old player, Lincicome had displayed her skill for scoring at the JCPenney Classic LPGA occasion, driving Davies to nickname Lincicome as "Sign Girl."
Pro Golf Career
A current resident of Seminole, Florida, Lincicome is one of the longest drivers in ladies' golf. In her freshman year during 2005, she drove the LPGA in driving separation with a normal average of 270.3 yards. In 2006, her driving normal average expanded to 278.6 yards which was second among all LPGA players. Her massive length off the tee has earned her the nickname "Bam-Bam." Lincicome has won two noteworthy titles, the 2009 Kraft Nabisco Championship and the 2015 ANA Inspiration.
In December 2004, when she was 19 years old, Lincicome became a professional golfer and earned her tour card for the 2005 season, after coming in at 20th place at the Final Qualifying Tournament at the LPGA. In the HSBC Women’s World championship, her first professional win came when she defeated players like Michelle Wai, Lorena Ochoa and Juli Inkster. She crushed Michelle Wie in the quarterfinals, Lorena Ochoa in the elimination rounds, and Juli Inkster in the last final match.
Soon came her second win in 2007. She caught her second win in April 2007 at the Ginn Open, again holding off Ochoa to catch the triumph on the 72nd gap. In 2007, Lincicome earned a spot on the U.S. Solheim Cup group. In singles play, she lost to Laura Davies.
In 2009, Lincicome won the Kraft Nabisco Championship, a LPGA major, in the wake of making a bird on the last opening to jump frog Kristy McPherson, who held a one shot lead going into the last gap. For the first time, Lincicome became a member of the U.S. Solheim Cup. Lincicome won the Kraft Nabisco cup in 2009.
In August 2014, Lincicome lost a sudden-passing playoff with Inbee Park at the LPGA Championship. She had held a one shot lead going to the 72nd opening, however Lincicome lost the playoff at the main additional gap.
During one of her peak runs, she told Golf Digest that she was feeling great about her game, "I'm hitting the ball really well. I just need the putting to flip a switch. It's frustrating because last year I was really consistent. This year I finish top 10, or I miss the cut. I've grown up watching girls like Annika, Lorena and Yani who were always finishing in the top 10 every week, and I have no idea what their secret is.”
