3-time major championship winner, Jan Stephenson, reflects back on her early years on the LPGA Tour and recounts several of her 27 professional wins including her first at the 1973 Wills Australian Ladies Open. Jan describes how her life changed when, in 1977, Sport Magazine used a photo of a bra-less Stephenson, not intended for publication, on the cover of their magazine. She relates how, in the crazed aftermath of that photo, LPGA Commissioner Ray Volpe recognized an opportunity to change the tour's image to attract more fans and sponsors. And so, Jan Stephenson became the face of the LPGA Tour and a reluctant sex symbol. She worked tirelessly, often giving of her time freely, to promote the Tour for the benefit of everybody. Despite the distractions, she was able to amass a marvelous record in golf, "FORE the Good of the Game."
