Misleading thread title is misleading. She won more on one tour than any other player but she's not the "winningest" overall. There is a difference.

So actually winning the most times doesn't make you the "winningest?"

OK. What metric are you using?

Winningest one one tour, yes. Winningest female, no (Annika). Winningest pro golfer of all time, no (Jack, Tiger). It's not rocket science.

So she was the winningest golfer on the LPGA tour then. That would have been a better thread title.

Lot of back and forth here but she was good. Born in Monahans but raised in Jal, NM. I'm not sure Jal had a golf course back then so that must have been quite a journey. She and Judy Rankin give the Permian Basin pretty good representation.
