Brittany Lincicome eagled the 72nd hole on Sunday to seize a one-stroke triumph in the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the first major of the women's golf season.

A stunning shot to within four feet on the par-five 18th at Mission Hills set up the eagle for Lincicome, who erased a one-shot deficit to beat playing partners Kristy McPherson and Cristie Kerr.

Lincicome carded a final-round 69 for a nine-under total of 279. She claimed the first major title of her career.
