Playing in a men’s field wasn’t a totally foreign concept to Lincicome, a Florida native who has been known to use men’s mini-tour events as a tune-up for the LPGA season. In 2018, Lincicome played the PGA Tour’s Barbasol Championship and attempted to become the first woman since Zaharias to make a PGA Tour cut. She was behind the eight-ball early after an opening 78 and her second-round 71 sent her home early.
