World number 189 Tan, seeking her first LPGA victory, sank three birdie putts from 25 feet and beyond to help offset two bogeys in a tough opening round at Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. “Very happy,” Lincicome said. “Today it was kind of trusting my process, fairways and greens, being aggressive, don’t leave the putts short, and kind of just attack the golf course, and it kind of worked, which is really scary because this golf course was not easy. It was really windy. It was cold at times.”
“I try to tell myself that every day I have a little goal and try to achieve them and build confidence from there,” Tan said. “My ball-striking has been really good and I think that has been a key and it has been giving me a lot of confidence going into the next day.”“Just stay patient, take those 30-, 50-footers if you have to,” she said. “It was really hard on some of the holes to take the flag out of consideration. I think I did that really well, and I’m really proud about that.
