## Caption

Betsy Rawls passed away Oct. 21 at the age of 95. One of two women with the most U.S. Women’s Open titles (four), Rawls began her Hall of Fame career in Austin, Texas, and her march to competitive dominance by winning consecutive titles in the Austin City Championship in 1947 and 1948. She followed those with consecutive victories in the Women’s Texas Amateur in 1949 and 1950. As an amateur in 1950, she finished 2nd (to fellow Texan Babe Didrickson Zaharias) in the U.S. Women’s Open. Rawls turned pro the following year and, as her track record would suggest, she won the U.S. Women’s Open in her next attempt in 1951. She won again in 1953, 1957, and 1960. Her four U.S. Women’s Open victories tie her with Mickey Wright for the most all time. In all, Rawls won eight major championships and 55 professional events, and is a member of the Texas, LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame, and a Past President of the LPGA.
