New Bedford, MA, May 18, 2010 – AHEAD announced today that it has re-signed LPGA Tour player Brittany Lincicome to wear its Kate Lord apparel line and headwear through 2011.
“Brittany has been a fantastic representative for our company and the Kate Lord brand over the last three years,” said Ken Shwartz, President, Ahead. “She is a very gifted athlete with a warm and friendly personality. She is a true asset to AHEAD and the LPGA Tour.”

She has recorded three victories including one major and has been a member of the US Solheim Cup Team in 2007 and 2009.

The Kate Lord Collection combines a nice mix of classic styles and colors with the latest in technical performance fabrics and I love how the polos keep me cool, even on hot days.”
