Beth Daniel: Lpga Tour
built 274 days ago
Beth Daniel has grown into the voice of reason on the LPGA Tour. And the Hall of Famer with 32 career wins more than Michelle Wie rightly blasted another ridiculous comment from the Winless Wonder’s Pompous Camp.

Joining the professional circuit in 1979, Daniel was named the LPGA Rookie of the Year. In her second season, she won four times and was named Rolex Player of the Year. Daniel's continued success brought her nine more wins through 1985 and made her the tour's eighth millionaire. Back problems hampered her swing and her play for several years in the mid-80s and she missed part of the 1988 season with mononucleosis. She suffered through a 41/2-year winless drought before rebounding better than ever.

Daniel was the 1979 LPGA Rookie of the Year and earned the VAre Trophy in 1989 with a record 70.38 average. In 1990 Daniel set a record for the most consecutive rounds in the 60s with nine. Daniel became the third palyer in LPGA history to cross the $5 million mark in career earnings in 1996.

In 1979, Daniel stormed on to the LPGA, recording16 top-10 finishes, which included a win at the Patty Berg Classic, en route to LPGA Rookie of the Year honors. Her one major championship victory came at the 1990 Mazda LPGA Championship, which was one of seven wins that season, for which she was named the 1990 Rolex Player of the Year and Vare Trophy winner.

Daniel's play overshadowed the youngest player at the tournament, 13-year-old Michelle Wie. The 6-footer from Hawaii, who failed to make the cut last week playing with the men at the Boise Open on the Nationwide Tour, capped her 69 with a birdie.
