50. Fay Crocker
A Uraguayan who won her national championship 20 times and the Argentine national championship 13 times, Crocker didn't have much success in the U.S. until the early years of the LPGA Tour. Then, already in her 40s, she won 11 times including two majors. Crocker still holds tour records for oldest first-time winner and oldest major championship winner.

49. Grace Park
Park, to date, has won just six times on the LPGA Tour. One of those is a major, but six wins isn't much. But the era in which those wins came, combined with her Vare Tropy, one major and several years of seeming constantly to be in contention sneak her into the bottom of the list. Park will have to start winning again soon, however, to stay in the Top 50.

48. Catherine Lacoste
There's no way to accurately gauge Lacoste's place in women's golf history, because she essentially gave up the game after only a half-dozen or so top events. But she won three of those: the 1967 U.S. Women's Open (as an amateur), and the 1969 British and U.S. amateurs. Ranking Lacoste is like imagining where Bobby Jones would rank - or whether he would rank - had he retired after his first three major wins instead of after his grand slam year.

47. Mary Mills
Another 9-time LPGA Tour winner, she never dominated the Tour or was considered among the top two or three players on the Tour in any given year. But she had a knack for winning the big one: Three of Mills' wins came in majors.

46. Sandra Post
The best-ever Canadian female golfer, Post won a major championship in 1968, then didn't win again for 10 years. Then she was among the top players on the LPGA Tour for several years in the late '70s and early '80s. Post held the record for youngest women's major championship winner until 2007.
