BRITTANY LINCICOME
Brittany Lincicome went to bed Tuesday night still not knowing what had become of her golf clubs. But the 2009 Kraft Nabisco champion, who’s in France for this week’s Evian Masters golf tourney, may awaken to brand new sticks if her suppliers Adams Golf and Callaway Golf have their way.
"We’ve built Brittany’s clubs and shipped them yesterday and she will have them in time for the event," Adams’ marketing director Jeff Wood told us in an e-mail Tuesday, "unless something happens with customs. But we don’t foresee any problems."
Lincicome, who, according to her Twitter page, spent much of Tuesday urging Iberia Airlines to find and return the golf clubs the carrier misplaced during the golfer’s delayed flight from Miami to Geneva, Switzerland, on Sunday night. Iberia reported progress in locating the clubs and shipping them to Lincicome’s hotel but they had not arrived by the time she was ready to turn in.
"Going to bed. Long day tracking my bag," Lincicome tweeted Tuesday night. "Hopefully I get it tomorrow."
Lincicome told us earlier on Tuesday that if she could not reclaim her clubs she would rent a set from Evian Masters Golf Course. Her suppliers went into overdrive to ensure she would not have to compete in one the LPGA’s marquee events (it’s already a major championship for the Ladies European Tour) with rentals.

Adams, which manufactures Lincicome’s driver, hybrid, and irons, had all of the four-time tour winner’s clubs in inventory and was "able to act quickly when we got the call from her," Wood said.
Likewise, Callaway, which supplies Lincicome’s three wedges. Indeed, the U.K. office of the Carlsbad, Calif., club maker "is building her new X Forged wedges (50, 56, 60)," Callaway spokesperson Scott Goryl said in an e-mail message. The firm’s onsite rep had already set Lincicome up with an Odyssey White Ice 2 putter from his demo bag and Goryl expected the wedges to show up in Evians-Les-Bains Wednesday afternoon.
In the meantime, Callaway took the opportunity to outfit Lincicome with some of its newest bats for the golfer’s practice round today.
"She took out a Callaway Razr Hawk Tour 8.5 driver, Diablo Octane Tour 15-degree fairway wood, and a RAZR X Tour 3H on Tuesday to get a look at the course," Goryl said.
No word on whether Linicicome liked the new bats enough to put them in her bag on a more permanent basis.
