Brandie Burton - Part 2 (Winning the 1993 and 1998 du Maurier Classic)

We begin this second installment of our interview with Brandie Burton with her recounting life on the road as an LPGA newbie. Brandie earned Rookie of the Year honors in 1991 and was the youngest player ever to surpass $1M in career earnings. It didn't take her long to secure her first win at the 1992 PING/Welch's Championship and her first major win came the next year as a 21-year-old at the 1993 du Maurier Classic in a playoff with Betsy King. She won her second major  in 1998, again at the du Maurier Classic and this time by one shot over Annika Sorenstam, making Brandie one of only five multiple winners of that event. She didn't know it at the time but this would be her final victory on Tour as physical challenges interrupted what was looking to be a very promising career. Brandie Burton looks back at her life on the LPGA Tour, "FORE the Good of the Game."
