THE STORY
What to know
Ball-striking with options
The Hall highlights her ability to shape shots and flight long irons high enough to land softly. Versatility was central to her championship game.
The 1999–2000 peak
Six wins in 1999 and seven in 2000 accompanied successive Player of the Year awards, establishing her as the LPGA's dominant competitor.
Understanding the Super Slam
Her 2002 Women's British Open completed wins in five different championships that held major status during her career. The earlier 1995 edition was not an LPGA major.
More than an early arrival
The 2006 Nabisco Championship added another major after her Hall induction. Her record is not confined to the seasons that first established her dominance.
