This Day in Golf--Nov. 4

Every professional golfer has to get started as a pro some day, and on this date in 1954, the great Mickey Wright is recorded as having turned pro. Viewed by most experts as the greatest women's golfer ever, and having the greatest swing male or female, the San Diego native is second in all-time LPGA victories with 82 and has four U.S. Women's Open titles among her major victories.
