Mountain Khakis Off to an Early Lead at Speedweek 2009

April 27, 2009

Team Mountain Khakis started the 2009 Speedweek criterium series off on a high note with Tom Soladay taking the win at the 2009 Nalley Historic Roswell Criterium on April 26.

The win came after Soladay and four other riders organized a breakaway that stayed away from the main field for nearly half the race. Early attempts to chase down the breakaway were thwarted by Soladay’s teammates and members of the other teams in the break.

With one lap to go, Soladay mustered his remaining strength to breakaway and give a solo victory salute at the finish.

The win came on the heels of teammate Mark Heckman’s second place finish at the 30^th Annual Athens Twilight Criterium the night before. Heckman won the Athens Twilight in 2007, surprising many of his competitors and foreshadowing what has been an illustrious professional career.

The Mountain Khakis hit squad will participate in the remaining five Speedweek races taking place throughout the Southeast.

Tifosi Optics Athlete Brittany Lincicome Wins the Kraft Nabisco Championship

April 6, 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 18^th 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 18^th 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.
