Lincou, the former world champion from Marseille, was the third seed - but made his breakthrough in the semi-finals by beating Australian rival and fellow 33-year-old David Palmer, the defending champion and second seed.
Like the Frenchman, Daryl Selby also only dropped one game en-route to the final. The fourth seed toppled top seed and fellow countryman Peter Barker in the other semi-final.
Lincou easily won the opening game and led 8-5 in the second. But Selby fought back to draw level and, after Lincou won the third, sprung to a 6-2 lead in the fourth to suggest that a fifth game decider was on the cards.
But Lincou won six points in a row to claw back the deficit before clinching the title on his second match ball to win.
The success chalks up Lincou's first Tour win since last June - but the 22nd of his illustrious career.
