GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — There’s a reason Brittany Lincicome is called “Bam Bam” on the LPGA Tour.

Nobody hit the ball farther than the 25-year-old Lincicome, and her length was one of the reasons she ended a two-year victory drought on Sunday in capturing the ShopRite LPGA Classic.

Actually it was her distance that got her in trouble on the final hole and surprisingly the weakest part of her game saved her — her chipping.

Lincicome made a 4-foot birdie putt after hitting a marvelous chip out of high, green-side fescue to win her fourth LPGA Tour title and first since the 2009 Kraft Nabisco.

“It feels great,” Lincicome said. “It’s like you said, since ‘09. You don’t know if you’re ever going to win again or if you’ll ever have your time. So it feels fantastic.”

Lincicome’s birdie capped a 5-under 66 that gave her a dramatic one-shot victory over third-ranked Jiyai Shin and No. 4 Cristie Kerr. Shin also shot a 66, and Kerr had a 69.

Lincicome finished the 54-hole tournament on the Bay Course at Seaview with an 11-under 202 total, and some of the success had to go to a new caddie, former LPGA Tour player A.J. Eathorne. The two started working together at the Sybase Match Play Championship two weeks ago.

“The more I talk and chattier that I am, the better that I play,” Lincicome said, noting Eathorne did a great job of picking up her spirits and getting her to talk everything from fishing to friends and pets.

Being in good spirits is what Lincicome needed coming to the last hole.

After hitting a perfect drive on the par-5, 501-yard No. 18, Lincicome choked down on a 3-wood but her shot had a little too much on it and landed in the fescue about hole-high.

The lie wasn’t horrible and the fescue wasn’t the tallest around, but there was little chance of getting the ball close to the hole, or at least there didn’t seem to be much of a chance.

However, Lincicome deftly hit a lob wedge close and made the putt, after nearly backing off it because “her hands were shaking.”

“I could have hit a bucket of ball and not gotten it that close,” Lincicome said about the chip.

Because Shin had already missed her 10-foot birdie attempt, all that stood between Lincicome and a win was Kerr, the second-round leader who got off to a quick start and then couldn’t get anything to fall the rest of the day.

Kerr hit her second shot about 80 feet from the hole and needed to sink it for an eagle to force a playoff.

“Cristie Kerr is the best putter on tour, I think, by far,” Lincicome said. “So I thought she’d knock it up there super close to make me be like, ‘Oh, gosh.’ But you’ve always got to anticipate that they’re going to make it.”

Kerr, who led Catriona Matthew by a stroke heading into the final round, made a great putt.

“It was actually in the heart,” Kerr said. “It was like 5 feet short, but it’s tough to have to make an 80-foot eagle putt to make it into the playoff. But I just wish I would have gotten it to the hole.”

If there was a difference in the tournament, it was the par 5s.

Lincicome played nine par 5s in the tournament and had seven birdies, an eagle and a par, with the last birdie coming on the par-5, 501-yard 18th.
