Early life and amateur career

[edit]

Englehorn was born on December 12, 1940,[8] inCaldwell, Idaho, where she was raised.[6][9] She first played golf when she was six years old,[10] having been introduced to the sport by Shirley Spork, one of the thirteen founders of theLPGA, and also studied withJohnny Revolta, an 18-timePGA Tour winner and thePGA Championship victor in1935.[6]

Englehorn won numerous amateur and open events. These included theMcCall Open (1957 and 1958), the Idaho Open (1957 to 1959), and the Pacific Northwest Amateur (1958). She also won the Oregon Open in 1959,[11] and won the Dorothy Pease Trophy (Trans-Miss) when she was fifteen, the youngest player to win the honor.[6][11]

Professional career

[edit]

After graduation fromCaldwell High School in 1958, Englehorn turned pro at age 18 in 1959 and joined the LPGA Tour.[12] She was sponsored by theAthletic Round Table ofSpokane from 1960 through 1962.[8][13] Despite a career-threatening equestrian accident in Georgia in March 1960,[14][15][16] Englehorn recovered and won her first tournament at age 21 in July 1962 at theWomen's Eastern Open inSutton, Massachusetts.[8][13][17] She won a total of 11 events on the LPGA Tour, including onemajor championship, theLPGA Championship in1970 in a playoff overKathy Whitworth, her third victory at Sutton.[7]

Englehorn led the tourthat season in wins with four. Five years earlier, in 1965, she suffered injuries in an automobile accident and missed much of the season.[8][18] Englehorn was awarded theBen Hogan Award in early 1968 by the Golf Writers Association of America in honor of her successful comeback from injuries.[19] She had surgery on her ankle in 1971 and 1973 and in each case returned to compete.[11][20] She later became a golf instructor, and was conferred the LPGA Teacher of the Year Award in 1978.
