The Englishwoman’s play over four days at Royal Lytham & St Annes made it easy to forget that she started the week as a 22-year-old LPGA rookie still looking for her first tour win.
With her one-shot win over Minjee Lee on Sunday at the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open, the 22-year-old from Thailand notched her third victory of the year, and the 10th of her career.
Brittany Lincicome’s debut in a US PGA Tour event was not necessarily an artistic success, though if simple enjoyment was the metric it was a success nonetheless.
The victory was the Thai’s ninth on the LPGA Tour and second Major championship, though it’s likely more accurate to say she survived it, rather than won it.
