Martha Nause - Part 2 (The 1994 du Maurier Classic and Perseverance)

Martha Nause relates the story of her finish at the LPGA Sun-Times Shoot-Out in 1991 going birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle to win, but tragically followed months later by the passing of her mother. Martha felt that the stress caused by her sudden loss brought on a rare condition that affected her balance and made if difficult to compete for over a year. With the help of a mental coach she came back with a flourish, winning the 1994 du Maurier Classic by 1 over Michelle McGann, shooting an opening round course-record 65. This comeback of sorts earned her the 1996 Heather Farr Player Award.  Martha went on to play the LPGA Legends Tour and was their leading money winner in 2006. She also coached college golf for the men's and women's teams at Macalester College and was inducted into the Wisconsin Golf Hall of Fame in 1995. Martha Nause wraps up her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
