    Lincicome hit a brilliant approach shot on the final extra hole then tapped in to take the first major championship of the 2015 LPGA Tour season and snap an almost four-year winless drought.

    Lincicome also won this event in 2009 for her only other major title. She set the table for both victories by making eagle on the 72nd hole of the tournaments.

    Celebratory dip

    Lincicome shot a three-under 69 in the final round to finish tied with Lewis at nine-under 279.

    Lewis made a furious charge of her own coming from behind on the back nine to chase down and surpass third-round leader South Korean rookie Kim Sei-Young. Lewis shot a two-under 70 Sunday.

    Morgan Pressel finished solo third at eight-under par while Kim tied for fourth with two others at seven-under, two shots back of the leaders.
