Amy Alcott

Amy Alcott (born February 22, 1956) is an American professional golfer.

Alcott was born in Kansas City, Missouri. She wasted little time establishing herself on the competitive scene, winning the 1973 United States Girls Junior Amateur Golf Championship.

She turned pro in 1975 while she was still a teenager, and promptly won the Orange Blossom Classic in just her third start. By the end of the season, she had earned Rookie of the Year honors.

Alcott won 29 events on the LPGA Tour, including 5 major championships. She finished in the top ten on the money list 11 times between 1976 and 1988, with her best finishes being back to back third places in 1979 and 1980.

Alcott was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1999.

She is also a member of the National Jewish Museum Sports Hall of Fame.

In July 2007, Alcott accepted the position as girls' golf coach at Harvard-Westlake School in North Hollywood, California.
