Stacy 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 also 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. Ms. Stacy holds consecutive titles
from the 1977 and 1978 U.S. Women's Open, the 1981 and 1982 West Virginia Classic,
and the 1982 and 1983 S&H Golf Classic. After recuperating from a serious car
accident mid-season in 1988, Ms. Stacy returned to score four top five finishes
and continued playing professional golf until assuming a golf coaching position
at the University of Southern California.
Hollis Stacy was inducted into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame in 1991. |
