Tifosi Optics Athlete Brittany Lincicome Wins the Kraft Nabisco
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 http://www.brittany1golf.com.

The Brittany Lincicome Custom Piece has Arrived!
All eyes will be on 22-year-old LPGA star Brittany Lincicome this April as she defends her title as Ginn OPEN champion-and thanks to a partnership with Tifosi Optics, those eyes can be wearing Brittany Lincicome custom glasses in support.
As part of her multi-year agreement, Tifosi is pleased to introduce the first in a series of Brittany Lincicome custom sunglasses.
"For the first Brittany piece, we decided to take an existing model, the Slip, and add a punch of color that would coordinate with Brittany's clothing but also have a universal appeal to golfers around the country," said Tifosi Optics Founder, Joe Earley.
The Brittany Slip looks sleek in metallic baby blue with white ear and temple pieces. This model provides the wraparound protection of a shield lens with the convenience of interchangeable lenses, all for $49.95.
The Brittany Slip is available for purchase through the Edwin Watts Golf mail order catalog as well as at any Tifosi Optics authorized retailer. To view the dealer locator, log ontowww.tifosioptics.com/locator.
Keep up with Brittany as she prepares for the 2008 Ginn OPEN April 14-20 on her homepage: http://www.brittany1golf.com.
