PLANO, TEXAS, April 17, 2007 -Adams Golf Tour Staff Pro Brittany Lincicome’s dramatic one-shot victory at the Ginn Open on Sunday was her second LPGA Tour victory in the span of nine months. The 21-year-old Lincicome has earned a reputation as one of the bright, young stars on tour ranking second on this year’s official Money List. With her win at the Ginn Open, Lincicome became the second automatic qualifier for the ADT Championship.
In tough conditions similar to British Open-style winds, with gusts near 40 mph, Lincicome trusted the performance and precision of her Adams Golf equipment. She played the new Insight BTY Driver (10.5Âå´), Insight BTY Fairway Wood (14.5Âå´), an Idea Pro Hybrid (22Âå´), and the Idea Pro Forged Irons (4-PW).
"The conditions were very difficult today and I just had to stay patient and trust my swing and trust my clubs," said Lincicome, who not only won a $390,000 paycheck but also a new convertible. "It was a real test out there for all of us having to factor in the amount of wind and what that does to distance and accuracy. I was very pleased with my ball flight all day and the consistent distances I was getting out of my Adams Golf clubs."
The final round was an impressive challenge for Lincicome similar to last year’s HSBC Match Play Championship when she defeated a "Who’s Who" in women’s golf. On Sunday she outlasted an LPGA veteran and four-time major winner along with the #2 ranked player in the World Golf Rankings.
"We congratulate Brittany for her exciting victory at the Ginn Open," said Chip Brewer, Adams Golf CEO. "She displayed poise and terrific ball striking down the stretch to outplay some of the biggest names in golf. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Brittany on our staff and look forward to more big wins from her."
