| Nancy Lopez's rookie season was one of the greatest in golf history. |
Nancy Lopez dominated women's golf in the late 1970s and was a major force in the 1980s. There were seasons when she won more tournaments than many do in an entire career. There was one incendiary stretch when she became the first LPGA golfer to win five straight tournaments.

This day is one Lopez and her husband of seven months awaited through long
