Brittany Lincicome shoots an impressive 67 in round 2
Brittany Lincicome shot an impressive 67 points in the round two of the Evian Masters.
Lincicome, who had a lacklustre first round, decided to stage a comeback and played a sensible game in the second round. She scored 73 points in the first round, which included three birdies and a double bogey.
This performance was not what the fans were expecting form the American golfer. Usually, Lincicome plays a great game and finishes in the upper section of the leaderboard at every tournament she contends in.
The second round proved to be great for Lincicome with eight birdies. Incredibly, she scored her first bogey on the very first hole.
She could have posted a better score on the leaderboard, had she not scored a double bogey on the 11th hole. This unfortunate turn of events led her to close the second round on a score of 67.
Lincicome holds the 18th position, which she shares with 13 other players. She is with great company, as Shanshan Feng, Lee-Anne Pace and Suzann Pettersen are also present at the 18th slot.
However, this great score in the second round will not prove too useful for Lincicome. Her total score so far is 140. This puts her at the disadvantage of 8 strokes (the leading player Stacy Lewis is at 132).
Evian Masters is full of surprises so far. Experts and fans are all at loss to explain the rankings after the second round. The hot favourite players who were tagged for an easy victory have not been able to perform well in the event.
Players who are relatively unknown have captured the top slots of the scoreboard. Trying to explain the anomaly, experts point out various factors such as changes in the design of the course and the presence of the upcoming young talent.
However, nothing could prepare the fans for the disappointments they have experienced so far. Among the top names, only Stacy Lewis has offered the kind of game, top players are well known for.
The two rounds are over, placing Stacy Lewis in a shaky lead. The final round will be hotly contested, with the top notch players vying for the final top positions.
