Brittany Lincicome got a little extra inspiration at the turn during Friday’s opening round of the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, presented by P&G.
After an even 36 on the front, Lincicome got a quick mommy moment in with her now one-year-old daughter Emery at Pinnacle Country Club, just north of Fayetteville.
She stopped and tickled Emery, who was waiting between holes with caretakers. The move worked as Lincicome went out and finished with a 1-under par 35 on the back nine. A trio is in the lead at 7 under.
For those who don’t recall, Lincicome gave birth to Emery Reign Gouws on July 8, 2019 in Rockford, Illinois, exactly eight weeks before she was due. She weighed 4 pounds, 11 ounces.

“When she came out, she looked perfect and she was screaming,” said Lincicome of the birth. Emery was only on oxygen for one day.
The coronavirus break gave Lincicome, who will celebrate her 35th birthday next month, the gift of added time with her first-born.
To save money, and perhaps kill time, Lincicome and her sister-in-law, Bianka, started making baby food at home, everything from pears to squash.
