Kathy Whitworth - Part 2 (The Early Majors and the 1960's)

FORE the Good of the Game

Kathy Whitworth, World Golf Hall of Fame member and winner of six major championships, looks back on her early years on tour in the 1960's, a decade that featured 56 of her 88 LPGA victories and four majors. Kathy fondly recalls winning the final two regular editions of the Titleholders event held at Augusta C.C. and the last Western Open after which, in 1968, there were only two majors to compete for over the next nine years. Listen in as she talks about playing in her first major, the other great players of that era, Olympian-turned golfer Althea Gibson, her love of competition, and how the tour grind was starting to get to her as the decade wound down. Kathy Whitworth continues her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
