Karrie Webb arrived from Australia and immediately started winning. Four victories in her first four starts as a rookie in 1996 announced a talent that would dominate women's golf for a decade. By 26, she had completed the Career Grand Slam - still the youngest woman to do so. The 41 LPGA wins and seven majors came with a precision that never seemed to falter. She could play any style, on any course, adapting her game to conditions that baffled others. The rivalry with Annika Sörenstam defined an era, two players pushing each other to heights neither might have reached alone. She represented Australia in nine World Cups, loyal to her country even as American tour events offered richer purses.
