Tifosi Optics Athlete Brittany Lincicome Wins the Kraft Nabisco Championship
Monday, April 6th, 2009
WATKINSVILLE, Ga. (April 6, 2009)-After an exciting four days of competition, LPGA player and Tifosi sponsored athlete Brittany Lincicome has won her first career major at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
At the beginning of the day, Lincicome trailed fellow Americans Cristie Kerr and Kristy McPherson but kept the gap close enough to regain control with an Eagle on the 18th hole.
“It just came down to 18, and luckily my length is a strong point and I bombed it out there and went for the green,” Lincicome said of her winning 275 yard drive.
Lincicome wore the Tifosi Pavé throughout the tournament. The Pavé model comes with three interchangeable golf-specific lenses for various playing conditions and is a favorite of hers because of its open lens design and deep lens cut.
A visibly ecstatic Lincicome took the customary victory plunge into the water surrounding the 18th green at the Mission Hills Country Club-after removing her favorite pair of Tifosi glasses of course.
Lincicome travels to Mexico April 23-26 for the Corona Championship where she will compete for a $1,300,000 purse. Keep up with Brittany on her website www.brittany1golf.com.
