This Day in Golf History: February 14

Mary Kathryn (Mickey) Wright, the greatest woman golfer of all time, was born on this date in San Diego in 1935. A member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, she won four U.S. Women’s Opens and 82 LPGA Tour titles. Referred to by many, including Ben Hogan, as having the finest swing, man or woman, the San Diego native won 13 majors. She died in 2020.
