Congratulations to Juli Inkster

Editorial

Tiger Woods, eat your heart out. We've got Juli Inkster. Inkster, for you non-golfers who wondered about the congratulatory banner hanging from Rancho Shopping Center, is having a phenomenal year on the women's pro golf circuit.

In the span of a month, she won both the prestigious U.S. Women's Open and the LPGA Championship. No stranger to phenomenal success, she started her career in a huge way, winning three consecutive U.S. Amateur titles from 1980-82.

But beyond skills and statistics, the longtime Los Altos resident is a down-to-earth, gracious person, a mom who puts raising kids and family first.

All the more reason Inkster deserves a special place in our city's pride. Out of respect for her need for privacy, we will refrain from parades or special days.

But we are indeed proud to share a city with one of the great golfers of all time.

We are proud that she is bringing home such golfing glory to Los Altos.

Juli Inkster, you're the greatest!
