![]() If sports fans didn’t already know what to expect from watching the Williams sisters over two decades or the U.S. HISTORY: Jennifer Kupcho outlasts Maria Fassi to win at Augusta Nationalįor the first time in history, a women’s tournament was held at Augusta National. Just seven years after finally bringing in its first two women members, Augusta National flung open its doors to women who were not the club members’ wives or daughters. Those days seemed like centuries ago on Saturday during the final round of the tournament current club chairman Fred Ridley, the father of three daughters, invented to usher Augusta National into the 20th century before too much more of the 21st went by. It didn’t matter that the game was losing participants and in fact desperately needed girls and women, who happen to make up 51 percent of the population and have always been the very definition of an untapped market for golf.Īugusta National stood its ground, and the powers that be in golf nodded their heads and rallied around the club, defending the indefensible, including the time nearly 17 years ago when then-club chairman Hootie Johnson issued the infamous, immortal and utterly preposterous line that the club would not be pressured into inviting women members “at the point of a bayonet.” For generations, their exclusive and revered club, the home of the Masters, sent a blunt five-word message to girls and women around the world: We do not want you. There are no more unlikely feminists on earth than the green-jacketed members cloistered within the gates of Augusta National Golf Club. If this is what hell looks like when it freezes over, I think we need to see more of it. No, Saturday afternoon at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. The final two golfers had staged a masterful duel down the stretch and now were making their walk up the most famous fairway in their sport. The shadows were starting to lengthen around the 18th green, where the crowds were so deep and full to the brim that people were leaving because they simply couldn’t see. – The scene looked so familiar, except that it came eight days too early.
