Brittany Lincicome tumbles one spot to 19th in world rankings
American Brittany Lincicome, who tied for 21st at the Navistar LPGA Classic 2012, has not lost her hope as she seeks to end her victory drought in the current season.
Lincicome might have made a few mistakes in some of the recent tournaments as she could not live up to the expectations of her fans at the CN Canadian Women’s Open 2012, but even the world's
best LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) contenders have flaws in their game — and missing good chances is not unusual.
Lincicome was expected to defend her title at Canadian Open 2012, but she looked down and out throughout the four days, posting a woeful 294 to tie for the 60th position on the
leaderboard.
As stunning as the LPGA phenom has been during several events over the course of her professional career, she hasn't been nearly as victorious when battling for her country — the United States.
Right now, Stacy Lewis seems to be the only American capable of giving a hard time to Asian golfers. Apparently, Lewis is leading the American side as she has seized the second position in
the Women’s World Golf Rankings.
Lincicome had vowed to end her winning drought at the Canadian Open 2012, but she did have not much to celebrate at the LPGA tournament, as she wound up hurting her position in world rankings.
According to the current positions in the Women’s World Golf Rankings, she has slipped one spot to stand at the 19th
— something alarming for her and her fans.
In the recent past, her attempts at success on the LPGA Tour may not have been as significant as they are now, primarily because of Asian rivals who seem bent on wiping American stars off
the ranking table.
Lincicome’s overall performance on the LPGA Tour has been decent as she has racked up five titles so far. In addition to it, she has also grabbed one major title.
Observers said that the LPGA titan might not have grabbed a victory since her stirring performance at CN Canadian Women’s Open 2011 and ShopRite LPGA Classic 2012, but boosting her position
in world rankings would have earned her plenty of admiration in the United States.
