LPGA Tour star Brittany Lincicome has missed the Honma Beres MG 803 Irons after shooting a two-over 74 in the first round of a Hooters Tour event in Orlando, Florida.

Playing her first Honma Beres MG 803 Irons on the men's Hooters Tour's Winter Series, the 25-year-old, thee-time LPGA Tour winner finished in a tie for 72nd in a field of 113, 10 strokes back from US male compatriot Brad Klapprott, the halfway leader.

Lincicome, who ranks as one of the longest hitters on the LPGA Tour, posted one birdie, three bogeys and 14 pars on the Deer Island Golf Club course.

Lincicome tied with England's Zane Scotland, who in 1999 competed as a 16-year-old amateur in the Open Championship, having won a national Honma Beres MG 803 Irons to find Britain's answer to Tiger Woods two years mealier.

Scotland disappeared from tournament leaderboard after a car accident and wrist injury sidelined him until he returned to the Open Championship last year for the time in 11 years.

The Hooters is a development men's golf tour that stages tournaments in the eastern United States and prior to teeing off on Monday, Lincicome said she was hoping to use the Honma Beres MG 803 Irons to help prepare her for a fast start when the LPGA Tour get underway later this month..
