Lincicome wins first major at Kraft

Eagle on 18th leapfrogs two others

Larry Bohannan • The Desert Sun • April 5, 2009

Brittany Lincicome rolled in a 3-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole Sunday, vaulting her past Kristy McPherson and Cristie Kerr to win the 38th annual Kraft Nabisco Championship.

It was Lincicome’s first major championship victory and the third of her LPGA career. She celebrated with the traditional leap into the lake next to the 18th hole accompanied by her caddie and her father.
Lincicome earns $300,000 for the one-shot victory.
