Catherine Lacoste - Part 3 (Winning the British and U.S. Amateurs)

We wrap up our visit with Women's U.S. Open champion and French amateur great Catherine Lacoste by first looking back on a 13-month stretch of a dozen match and stroke-play events where she did not lose. After winning the 1968 Women's Western Amateur, she reeled off victories the following year at the British Ladies Amateur, the Women's U.S. Amateur, the Spanish International Ladies Amateur and the French Amateur, becoming the only woman to ever hold these titles at the same time. After this remarkable run, Catherine was married, started a family and essentially "retired" from international competition at the age of 25. However, many more victories were to come in individual and team competitions including later play as a Senior. She was arguably France's finest amateur golfer. Outside the ropes, Catherine was a long-time Board member of the family fashion business Lacoste and served for many years as the President of the family's Chantaco Golf Club. Catherine Lacoste concludes her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game." Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.
