Pat Lesser Harbottle:
One of the greatest female golfers to ever come out of the Pacific Northwest, Pat Lesser Harbottle was the first female to play on a collegiate men's golf team, changing the landscape of women's collegiate golf. She is the only player ever to win the US Juniors, National Collegiate and US Amateur championships and first to hold The National Amateur, Western Amateur, Doherty Cup and South Atlantic titles in the same year. The 1955 U.S. Women Amateur Champion, Lesser Harbottle has been inducted into the State of Washington Sports, Pacific Northwest Golf, PNGA and Seattle University Hall of Fame.
