As a working mom on the LPGA Tour, Brittany Lincicome’s day is a whirlwind. Wake up at 5:30 AM, get her four-year-old daughter ready for daycare, and then head to the course for a practice round. After lunch, it’s time for a Pro-Am event, where she interacts with fans and sponsors. In the evening, it’s back home for dinner with her daughter and husband, followed by a workout and a little downtime before bed. While it’s a demanding schedule, Lincicome loves being able to pursue her passion while also being there for her family. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s also so rewarding,” she says. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
Records plummeted on a birdie-filled Thursday at the PGA Championship. The scoring average of 69.457 tied the lowest for an opening round in major championship history.
Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Viktor Hovland shared the lead on seven-under-par 64, with Schauffele and Koepka each carding nine birdies.
Hovland, who won the 2022 Hero World Challenge, made a hole-in-one on the par-three 15th.
Other notable scores included Justin Thomas’s 65, Scottie Scheffler’s 66, and two-time PGA champion John Daly’s 67.
The low scoring was due in part to the soft conditions following heavy rain earlier in the week. The greens were also receptive, making it easier for players to attack the pins.
