LPGA Tour's Lincicome enters men's tournament

Brittany Lincicome may play in a men's tournament next week as part of her plans for the LPGA Tour season.
The long-hitting Lincicome, a three-time winner on the LPGA Tour, has entered the NGA Hooters Tour's Bridgestone Winter Series event at Deer Island Golf Club.
Brittany could be the first current LPGA Tour golfer to play in a Winter Series tournament.
"(The LPGA Tour) finished in December, and I ought to keep playing to get ready for next season," Lincicome said Friday. "This will be my seventh year on the LPGA Tour and I still get nervous when I tee off (in the LPGA season-opening event) in Thailand. This tournament is close to home and has a lot of rivals in it. I think it's a great way for me to get some of the nerves out before our season starts."
Brittany Grace Lincicome (born September 19, 1985) is an American professional player playing on the LPGA Tour. She at present resides in Seminole, Florida.
Lincicome is one of the longest drivers in women's golf. In her fresh year, 2005, she led the LPGA in driving distance with an average of 270.3 yards (247.2 m). In 2006, her driving average increased to 278.6 yards (254.8 m), second among all LPGA players.
