Louise Suggs couldn’t help seeing a little of herself in Karrie Webb.
They shared a feisty tough-mindedness that made them kindred spirits.
Maybe that’s why one of the 13 founders of the LPGA became such good friends with the rookie from Australia almost from the first time they met nearly 20 years ago.
No active LPGA player today was closer to Suggs than Webb, who now more than ever appreciates the special legacy Suggs leaves with Suggs’ passing Friday at 91.
“Louise never had children, but I think the LPGA and all of us were her children,” Webb told GolfChannel.
