Lincicome comes out winner of Canadian Women's Open

American player Brittany Lincicome came out on top in the Canadian Women’s Open on Sunday. 

The twenty-five-year-old beat Michelle Wie and Stacy Lewis by one stroke.
 
The tournament went on despite fears of cancellation due to tropical storm Irene.
 
Measures were taken to get the fourth round in before the course was washed out.
 
Start times moved up by ninety minutes, participants played in threesomes, and group started on both the first and tenth tees.
 
If they had cancelled the last round, there would have been a playoff between hole leader Wie, Tiffany joh, and Ai Miyuzato.
