This Day in Golf History: February 14

There has always been a great deal of love shown to the golf great born on this date, Mickey Wright, who would have turned 87 today. Referred to by many, including Ben Hogan, as having the finest swing, man or woman, she is generally regarded as the greatest woman player. The San Diego native won 13 majors, including four U.S. Women's Opens and four LPGAs. She was born in 1935 and died in 2020.
