Gaby Lopez turned 30 years of age on Nov. 9, 1993, and as of that milestone, her list of career accomplishments was impressive:
Three LPGA titles
Two Olympic appearances
Six seasons finished inside the top 100 in the world
Career earnings over $4 million
And Lopez isn’t anywhere near the end. In fact, she’s improved almost every season in terms of world ranking and said after she won the Dana Open in 2022 that she’s still on the rise.
“I just deep down believed that the best years of my golf are just getting to the surface,” Lopez said at the time. “And deep down I believe that. I’m not sure when or how far or how long it’s going to take me or how far I’m going to get, but I just deep down believe that that’s what I feel.”
Here’s a look at the career of Lopez, who was born in Mexico City, then played for the University of Arkansas, where she had three tournament victories and finished as an NCAA individual runner-up:
