INDIANAPOLIS -- Sandra Spuzich, the 1966 U.S. Women's Open champion who won six other LPGA Tour titles, has died. She was 78.
Conkle Funeral Homes and the USGA said Spuzich died Oct. 6 at her Indianapolis home.
Spuzich won the Women's Open at Hazeltine in Minnesota for her first tour title, beating Carol Mann by a stroke. In 1982, Spuzich won the Corning Classic and Mary Kay Classic at age 45 to become the oldest player in LPGA Tour history to win twice in a season -- a record that still stands.
She is survived by her longtime partner, former LPGA Tour player Joyce Kazmierski.
