Brittany Lincicome on Sunday birdied four of final five holes to win her second consecutive Bahamas LPGA Classic, finishing in near-darkness to capture the shortened season opener by two strokes.
The 32-year-old Floridian fired a seven-under 66 in the final round to complete 54 holes at 12-under 207 to defeat Taiwan’s Hsu Wei-ling, who shot 68 to close on 209.
With portable lights used to illuminate predawn practice areas turned upon the 18th green, Lincicome sank an eight-foot birdie putt to complete the lowest round of the tournament and take the trophy again.
