Dame Laura Jane Davies,DBE (born 5 October 1963) is an Englishprofessional golfer. She has achieved the status of her nation's most accomplished female golfer of modern times,[2][3] being the second non-American to finish at the top of the LPGA money list[2] as well as winning theLadies European Tour (LET) Order of Merit a record seven times: in 1985, 1986, 1992, 1996, 1999, 2004 and 2006.[4][5]

As of 2018, Davies has 86 professional wins worldwide, with 20 on theLPGA Tour, including fourmajors.[6] From 1985 to 2010, she won at least one individual title somewhere in the world every season, except for 2005, and was the first golfer, male or female, to win tournaments on five continents in one year. She is a member of U.S.-based LPGA Tour and a life member of the Ladies European Tour.[7] She was inducted into theWorld Golf Hall of Fame in 2015.[8]

Amateur career

[edit]

A native ofCoventry, Davies began as an amateur international player for Great Britain, compiling a notable record. She was the 1983 English Intermediate Champion, the 1984Welsh Ladies Open Stroke Play Champion and the South Eastern Champion in both 1983 and 1984.[4] She was also a member of theGreat Britain andIrelandCurtis Cup Team in 1984.[9] She turned professional in 1985.

Professional career

[edit]

Ladies European Tour 1985–1986

[edit]

Davies started her professional career on the WPGET (nowLadies European Tour) in 1985 when she won bothRookie of the Year andOrder of Merit titles.[4] She subsequently won theSports Journalists' Association Peter Wilson Trophy as International Newcomer of the Year 1985.[10] She repeated the Order of Merit win in 1986 having won four titles, one of which was theWomen's British Open (prior to it becoming a major).[4][11]

Playing around the world 1987–2023

[edit]

In 1987, she went to the United States and won theU.S. Women's Open in an 18-hole playoff againstAyako Okamoto andJoAnne Carner. It was a victory that led the LPGA to amend its constitution. Davies was not a member of the LPGA Tour, so the LPGA changed its constitution to grant Davies automatic membership.[12] Davies became the third non-U.S. citizen and the second European player, afterCatherine Lacoste in1967, to win the U.S. Women's Open. For six days, Davies was holder of both the U.S and British Open titles. The 1987 Women's British Open took place the week after the U.S. Women's Open and in her defence Davies finished tied second, one shot behind winnerAlison Nicholas.[4]

From 1988, Davies played on both the LPGA and Ladies European Tours. In 1988, Davies won twice as a rookie on the LPGA Tour, three times on the Ladies European Tour and once in Japan, becoming the first woman ever to win on all three major Tours in the same year.[2]

Her four consecutive victories at theJ Golf Phoenix LPGA International between 1994 and 1997 made Davies the first LPGA player to win the same tournament in four consecutive years.[13]

In 1994, she was the first golfer, male or female, to win on five different golf tours in one calendar year: US, Europe, Asia, Japan and Australia.[4][14] and became the first European player to be ranked unofficial number one in the world on the Ping Leaderboard.[2] In 1996, she was again ranked number one on the Ping leaderboard.

In 2004 Davies was the first woman to compete in the men'sEuropean Tour, entering the ANZ Championship inSydney, Australia, playing from the same tees as the men.[15][16] She failed to make the cut, finishing second to last. She beat the LPGA Tour record for most eagles in a season, scoring 19 during the 2004 season.[citation needed]

Solheim Cup and other team appearances

[edit]

In1990, she was a member of the inaugural EuropeanSolheim Cup Team. She returned as part of every European team through 2011. Davies is the only player to participate in the first 12Solheim Cup matches on either the United States or European side.[17] Davies is the all-time leader in points won in the Solheim Cup, breaking the record ofAnnika Sörenstam by winning a Saturday fourballs match partnered byMelissa Reid on 24 September 2011.[18] Davies went on to increase her record point total to 25 by halving her singles match withJuli Inkster on 25 September 2011, as the Europeans captured the Solheim Cup for the fourth time.[19] She was appointed as non-playing assistant captain for the European teams at the2019,2021 and2023 Solheim Cup tournaments.[20][21]

Davies was part of the LPGA team at the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge three times between 1994 and 1996.[22]

Davies also was part of a mixed team event ofPGA Tour andLPGA Tour players at theJCPenney Classic four times between 1996 and 1999.[23][24] Davies won the event in 1999 alongsideJohn Daly.[25]

She represented England at theWomen's World Cup of Golf in 2000 (withTrish Johnson when winning individually),[26] 2005 (withKaren Stupples),[27] 2006 (with Kirsty Taylor)[28] and 2007 (with Trish Johnson).[29] She was a Captain's pick for the International Team at the 2006Lexus Cup.[30]

Senior career

[edit]

At 49 years of age in2012, Davies won a senior tour event for the first time, the ISPS Handa Legends Tour Open Championship on theLegends Tour, where there was a minimum age limit of 45.

Davies was the first woman to compete among the men in aEuropean Senior Tour event. She played in the 2018Shipco Masters inDenmark, from the same tees as her male opponents.[31]

In 2018, aged 55, Davies finished runner up atBank of Hope Founders Cup on the LPGA Tour, including shooting a Saturday round of 63.[32]

On 15 July 2018, Davies claimed the inauguralU.S. Senior Women's Open atChicago Golf Club by shooting 16-under-par for a 10-shot victory over fellow Hall of FamerJuli Inkster. Then on 17 October, she made the "senior slam" by following that up by capturing her secondsenior major, theSenior LPGA Championship atFrench Lick Resort in Indiana with a score of 8-under-par, a four shot margin overHelen Alfredsson andSilvia Cavalleri.
