One of integral pillars of women’s golf celebrates her 66th birthday today. Nancy Lopez is widely regarded as a living legend, not just to the women’s game, but golf as a whole.
After leaving the University of Tulsa as a sophomore in 1977, Lopez immediately lit it up on the LPGA, as she took home five wins in her first full season (1978). In total, she racked up 51 professional wins, including three majors, in 25 full-time seasons on the LPGA.
