Bio:
As an amateur, Jill was one of very few people, male or female, to have won both the U.S. Amateur Championship as well as the U.S. Public Links – the two most prestigious amateur titles in all of golf. With her win at the 2022 U.S. Senior Women’s Open, Jill became just the sixth golfer in history to claim three separate USGA titles, joining Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, JoAnne Carner and Carol Semple Thompson. Although 28 years had elapsed since her last victory, her performance at the USSWO goes to show that she still has the ability to win tournaments and add to her already illustrious golf career.
With her magnetic personality, easy-going disposition and looks and build of a runway model, Jill has always stood out from the crowd of professional female athletes. She currently resides in Dallas, Texas with her husband and two children where she serves as a golf instructor.
