The youngest player ever to win the USGA Junior Girls Championship, Hollis Stacy went on to enjoy a standout career at Rollins before developing into one of the top players on the LPGA Tour. During her time on the tour, Stacy claimed 18 tour titles and won more than $2 million. She is one of only four women to win the U.S. Open Championship three times, having claimed the title in back-to-back years of 1977 and 1978 and then again in 1984. She has ranked among the top 10 in earnings five times and placed in the top 10 in at least one event almost every year of her nearly three-decade career.

Hollis Stacy, who had cut Jones' four-stroke lead to two on Sunday, dropped to third place with a 70 to finish at 6-under. Stacy captured 17 tournaments between 1977 and 1985, but she has won just once since -- in 1991.

Hollis Stacy was born in Savannah, Ga., on March 16, 1954. She set records that still stand. In 1969, at the age of 15, she was the youngest player to win the U.S. Junior Girls Championship. She is ... one of the only two players to win that title three times. She captured the 1970 North-South Amateur and was a member of the 1972 Curtis Cup Team. Ms. Stacy joined the LPGA Tour in 1974, and her 17 victories include three U.S. Women's Opens.

Hollis Stacy was second, with 289, nine strokes behind Miss Alcott. Miss Alcott had rounds of 70-70-68-72. She was four under par, the fifth sub-par 72-hole score since the USGA assumed sponsorship in 1953. Temperatures reached beyond 100 degrees every day. By winning, Miss Alcott became the 22nd player to win more than one USGA Championship. She won the Girls' Junior in 1972.

With a final round of 69, the lowest score of the championship, Miss Stacy beat Rosie Jones by one stroke and Amy Alcott by two. Miss Alcott, the 1980 Champion, and JoAnn Washam tied at 71 in the first round. After 36 holes, Miss Jones and Penny Pulz had 144 and Miss Alcott 145. Donna Horton White then moved into a tie for the 54-hole lead with Miss Alcott, at 218, with Miss Stacy three strokes behind.

Her game blossomed in her teens, and beginning in 1969, Stacy won three consecutive U.S. Junior Girls Championships. Not only is she the only person to win that crown three straight times, but no other golfer has won it three times total. She had just turned 15 at the time of her first Junior Girls win, making her, at that time, the youngest to win the event.
