Forty-two wins, four majors in a career that stretched from 1961 to 1990. Hard to argue with that, either. Haynie would be much better remembered today as one of the all-time greats had she not had the misfortune of having most of her best years overshadowed by the juggernaut known as Kathy Whitworth.
14. Betsy Rawls
One of the Big Four (along with Berg, Suggs and the Babe) in the early days of the LPGA Tour, Rawls was competitive longer than any of the others, not winning her final major until 1969. She finished with 55 LPGA Tour victories, including eight majors (four of them U.S. Women's Open titles).
13. Juli Inkster
Inkster is a difficult player to firmly place on this list. Among her top contemporaries (Sheehan, Bradley, Alcott, Daniel, Lopez, King), Inkster was easily the most inconsistent. Her 31 wins are in line with the others' win totals (except Lopez's 48), but she didn't contend week-in-and-week-out, and had the fewest Top 10s. Inkster never won a money title, scoring title, or Player of the Year award. But she does have seven majors - more than any of those other golfers. And Inkster has some great extra credit: three straight U.S. Women's Amateur championships.
12. Patty Sheehan
Like Inkster, Sheehan never won a money title. Unlike Inkster, Sheehan did win a scoring title. She also won 35 tournaments and six majors, and wracked up lots of Top 10s in a career whose consistency boosts her ahead of Inkster on this list.
11. Pat Bradley
She posted the same six majors as Sheehan, but "only" 30 career wins compared to Sheehan's 35. Bradley also wracked up tons of Top 10s (and Top 3s). Her highs were just a little bit higher than Sheehan's - Bradley won two money titles, two Vare Trophies and two Player of the Year awards. And in 1986, three of the four LPGA majors.
