LPGA players comment on Patty Berg
LORIE KANE
LORIE KANE: What to say about Patty Berg? Fist of all, I think at 88 she lived a wonderful life and gave an unbelievable amount of her time to golf. She’s one of the reasons for the LPGA persevering through the very lean times. I know that even as early as this year she did a clinic at the U.S. Open, and I haven’t played in a lot of U.S. Opens but I remember watching her first clinic that I saw in Mesa, how she handled herself, and she’ll be greatly missed.
MICHELE REDMAN
Q.: Just want to talk about Patty passing away.
MICHELE REDMAN: I know, that’s sad. I was surprised. I didn’t know that she wasn’t well. She’s been great for women’s golf and she’s going to be dearly missed, that’s for sure.
Q.: Do you have any fond memories, any stories, anything?
MICHELE REDMAN: Yeah, when I think of Patty Berg I think of Patty Sheehan imitating her and that makes me laugh a little bit because she does a Patty Berg perfect. She came and talked to us at the Solheim Cup in Minneapolis, and she’s just a great lady. We’ll definitely miss her.
Q.: Talk about how important she was.
MICHELE REDMAN: She’s probably she’s definitely one of the reasons we are where we are today. You know, a lot of the old founders of the LPGA, we wouldn’t be where we are without them this year.
Q.: Were you raised in Minneapolis?
MICHELE REDMAN: No, I just live there now.
PAULA CREAMER
PAULA CREAMER: Yeah, that’s very sad obviously. We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her. I’ve had the opportunity to meet her before, and she’s such a nice lady and it’s just very sad.
Q.: Do you have any funny stories or anything?
PAULA CREAMER: I’ve only met her once.
