Australian · Ayr, Australia · Born 21 December 1974Australian golfer who completed the Career Super Grand Slam by age 27 and ranks 10th all-time in LPGA Tour victories with 41 wins.
Karrie Webb completed the career Grand Slam of women's golf at 25, becoming one of the youngest players ever to win all four major championships -- a milestone that usually takes players a decade or more longer to assemble, if they manage it at all. Her seven majors came with a notably understated public presence, a contrast to some of the sport's more outwardly emotional champions; teammates and commentators consistently described her as someone who let her scorecard do the talking rather than courting attention between rounds. Webb's induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2005 came while she was still an active competitor rather than as a late-career honour, recognition of a level of sustained dominance in the early 2000s that few players in the women's game have matched before or since -- a run built on consistency across all four majors rather than being a specialist at any single course type.
