MIRABEL, Quebec » Brittany Lincicome was singing in the rain Sunday in the Canadian Women’s Open.
"I was very patient, singing a lot of songs, very chatty," Lincicome said after her second LPGA Tour victory of the season and fifth overall.
"The weather was not great, but I was still having fun. I’m definitely going to remember this win."
To stay focused, the long-hitting American sings to herself as part of her sports psychology program.
She wasn’t quite ready for an encore in the media center.
"I’m not a good singer, so I’m not singing for you," she said.
Lincicome, with former Canadian player A.J. Eathorne working as her caddie, saved par on the 18th hole for a 2-under 70 to edge defending champion Michelle Wie and Stacy Lewis by a stroke at Hillsdale Golf & Country Club. Lincicome finished at 13 under and earned $337,500.
"I never won on tour myself, so it’s kind of cool to say I’ve been involved in two wins in one year," Eathorne said. "I guess I never thought it would get that good that fast."
Lewis shot a 67 — the best round of the day — to match Wie (72) at 12 under.
Wie, the winner last year at St. Charles in Winnipeg, Manitoba, needed a birdie on the 18th to force a playoff, but missed the green, took a drop to get clear of a fence, and made par.
"I’m proud of the way I hung in there," Wie said. "Coming in, I had a lot of clutch shots that I can really take positives from. It feels good to be back in contention again."
