It's too bad that many Houstonians were pre-occupied with other distractions on Sunday, because they missed what might have been one of the greatest sports moments of 2009 when Brittany Lincicomb bombed a 210-yard hybrid to within six feet of the cup on the 72nd and final hole of the LPGA Kraft Nabisco Championship.
It was easily one of the top 3 golf shots that I've seen performed under pressure, right up there with Jack Nicklaus' 1-iron at the 1972 U.S. Open and Corey Pavin's 4-wood at the 2000 U.S. Open. Unfortunately it won't get the same amount of respect or media play, because it wasn't Tiger, and it was the LPGA.
That's too bad though, because it was a great golf shot executed under the most difficult of conditions, the 18th hole during the final round of a major. People may not realize this now but getting Eagle on the 72 hole of a Major championship for the win is an amazing accomplishment. It should go down as one of the greatest sports moments of the year.
