If Brittany Lincicome played the 18^th hole at the ANA Inspiration every week, she would make the Wounded Warrior Project even happier.

Last week in winning the first major championship of the year, Lincicome hit a 5-iron from 190 yards to set up a short eagle putt, which eventually tied Stacy Lewis and forced a playoff. In 2009, when she also won the tournament, Lincicome hit a hybrid from 210 yards to 4 feet on the final hole and sealed a one-stroke victory.

Lincicome and Lydia Ko (ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open) are the only two winners this season who have made eagles in the season-long program. There were four weekend eagles at the ANA, one week after a season-high 16 were recorded at the Kia Classic.

Through eight tournaments, there have been 60 eagles in the final two rounds of competition, bringing the total to $60,000.

The Wounded Warrior Weekend takes place during the final two rounds at LPGA tournaments, with CME Group donating $1,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project for each eagle that is recorded. This amount will increase to $5,000 for each eagle during the weekend of the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship and a formal check will be presented to the Wounded Warrior Project during the trophy ceremony.

For the 2014 season, 283 eagles were made on the weekend, raising $283,000. While no eagles were made on the weekend in Naples, the CME Group generously rounded up to $300,000. The 2014 season also had a lot of aces and dou
