Sandra Palmer - Part 2 ( The 1972 Titleholders Championship)
Manage episode 422809565 series 2909478
The winner of 19 events on the LPGA Tour, Sandra Palmer takes us back to her first few years as a professional where everything was new and winning was difficult. Sandra recounts her first professional win at the 1970 Tokay Classic in Japan where first prize paid 10% of the men’s prize. She remembers playing with Joe Namath in a pro-am event at the Desert Inn where she holed a green-side bunker shot for eagle to beat Donna Caponi for her first LPGA title. Sandra’s first major came in the last edition of the Titleholders which had been played for many years at Augusta CC. This was a one-year reprise of the event at Pine Needles and Sandra lapped the field, winning by 10 shots. She reflects back on the Jane Blalock controversy from that era and fondly recalls the great Patty Berg. Sandra Palmer continues her life story, “FORE the Good of the Game.”
