Brittany Lincicome Wins 2nd LPGA Title Of The Year At 2011 CN Canadian Women’s Open

Brittany Lincicome and Canadian Caddie, A. J. Eathorne (holding flag)

Maybe it was a little home cooking. With Canadian caddie and former LPGA player A. J. Eathorne on her bag, American Brittany Lincicome bested the field and the weather at the 2011 Canadian Women’s Open to win her 2nd LPGA title of the year. Bam-Bam took early advantage of her length, with birdies on the par 5 1st and 5th. Her approach shot on the par 4 7th hole rolled to 2 feet from the hole for an easy birdie. Lincicome gave one back on the 12th hole, missing a chip for par to drop her to 2-under for the day and 13-under overall. With the overnight leaders struggling to make birdies, it would prove all she needed for the win, her 5th career LPGA victory.

Michelle Wie, Ai Miyazato

Unable to battle through the elements and final round pressure as well were the overnight leaders Michelle Wie, Ai Miyazato and Tiffany Joh. Miyazato and Joh were completely out of contention. Miyazato struggled with a double bogey, 5 bogeys and 2 birdies on the way to a forgettable 5-over 77. Joh was only slightly better with a double bogey, 5 bogeys and 3 birdies to  card a 4-over 76. Both players fell from tied for 1st at the end of round 3 to out of the top 10 by tournament’s end. For Miyazato, she moves on. For Joh, she will move on as well, but falling out of the top 10 hurts her a lot more. She gave away a lot of money that she might need at the end of the year for exempt status. Of the three leaders to start the day, only Wie had a chance down the stretch, nailing a huge putt from nearly across the Canadian-U.S. border on 15 to put herself at 13-under. That chance quickly faded on the 16th, as she tried to carry the hazard from out of the rough…and didn’t. A bogey on the hole had Michelle looking for a birdie to force a playoff on one of the final two holes, or 2 birdies to capture victory. She made another spectacular putt from 20 feet on 17, but it was for par. I’ll say this, if she continues to putt like she did this week, she will be hard to keep out of the winner’s circle. But on this day, she was denied. On 18, Michelle pulled her second shot, a hybrid from 194 yards out, to 30 feet right of the flag, 15 feet off the edge of the green to the grandstand. Needing a chip over the green for birdie, she missed and settled for par and a tie for 2nd place with Stacy Lewis. The top of the leaderboard read Lincicome, Wie, Lewis, Cristie Kerr and Angela Stanford. I’d say the Americans are playing well going into the Solheim Cup.
