THE STORY
What to know
Dominance across championships
Her ten majors comprise three U.S. Women's Opens, three Nabisco Championships, three LPGA Championships and the 2003 Women's British Open.
Power without surrendering accuracy
A demanding fitness program added length to an already precise game. Her development challenges the idea that distance and control must be opposites.
Testing herself at Colonial
In 2003 she entered a PGA TOUR event, the first woman to do so since Babe Zaharias in 1946. She missed the cut, but the challenge drew attention far beyond the LPGA.
A scoring standard
Her 59 at Moon Valley in 2001 made her the first woman to break 60 on the LPGA. Her work later expanded into a foundation and golf education.

HH TAKE
Why this profile is worth exploring
The interesting thread is deliberate improvement even while winning. Her fitness work and Colonial appearance make that ambition tangible rather than merely adding another trophy count.
