The University of Texas has a storied golf program, and another chapter was written in that story yesterday as Sherri Steinhauer won the Women’s British Open yesterday at Royal Lytham. It was Steinhauer’s third Women’s British Open victory, but the first since 2001 when the tournament became a major on the LPGA circuit.
Steinhauer is a native of Wisconsin who attended the University of Texas, where she was an All-American in 1985. She was the MVP of the UT women’s golf team in 1983 and ’85.
