Wendy Doolan

Doolan started playing golf at the age of 14 in Sydney, Australia. She was the British Amateur Championship runner-up in 1991 and represented Australia seven times internationally. By 1991 and 1992, she was ranked as the No. 1 Australian Woman Golfer by the editors of Australian Golf Magazine.
Wendy turned professional in November 1991, and competed from 1992 to 1995 on the Symetra Tour and on the Ladies European Tour. She also competed briefly on the Asian Ladies Tour and on the Australian Ladies Tour, winning both in Australia and on the Symetra Tour, before earning full LPGA Tour membership in 1996.
Her first LPGA victory came at the 2001 LPGA Champions Classic, where she won a five-hole playoff. She added her second LPGA title at the 2003 Welch's/Fry's Championship, where she carded a career-low score of 62 in the second round and would go on to win by three strokes over runners-up Lorie Kane and LPGA Hall of Fame member Betsy King. Her final LPGA victory came at the 2004 Evian Masters in France, where she recorded four rounds in the 60s to win by one stroke over Sweden's Annika Sorenstam. With this win, she crossed the $2 million mark in career earnings. She served as a member of the LPGA Player Executive Committee from 2002 to 2003 and in 2006.
Doolan transitioned into teaching the game in 2010. After working as the director of the mental-golf program at the Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy for several years, she lead the same program at the Lee Westwood Golf School in Orlando, Fla. until 2015. Wendy has also coached players at a variety of levels since 2012.
