RANCHO MIRAGE, California – “Do it! Do it!” fans screamed as a foursome of past champions huddled on the back of the 18th green. Jennifer Kupcho, the 2022 Chevron champion, was out of Poppie’s Pond and wrapped in a robe by this point.
And here they came, led by the ever-spunky Patty Sheehan, who at age 65 did a front flip into Poppie’s Pond that was downright legendary. France’s Patricia Meunier-Lebouc was carried into the pond by her husband when she won back in 2003. She called home to say she planned to jump in for the first time on her own two feet.
