Jan 18, 2007 | General
World Golf Hall of Fame member Nancy Lopez, who won 48 tournaments during her LPGA career, will be the keynote speaker at this year's Diet Pepsi/Women's Walk Kick-off Luncheon. The March 6 event at the DoubleTree Hotel is open to the public.
"We are very fortunate and excited to have Nancy Lopez join us for this year's event," UNO senior woman administrator Rose Shires said. "She is known as a fierce and focused competitor who is a great role model for all athletes."
The Diet Pepsi Women's Walk, now entering its 22nd year, has raised nearly $3 million for scholarships for female student-athletes. This year's event will also feature a Nebraska Medical Center women's health fair.
Lopez will speak at the 11:30 a.m. luncheon and that afternoon will conduct clinics at the Chili Greens Dome.
The First National Bank luncheon will feature the induction of Linda Aust, Nancy Witted and Virginia Klug into the Women's Walk Hall of Honor.
Tickets for the luncheon are $55 per person or $500 for a table of 10. The demonstration clinic, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. at the Chili Greens Dome, is $25, with advanced registration required. Reservations for the events may be made by calling the UNO Athletic Office, 554-2533.
Lopez sprung on the women's golf scene as a 21-year-old rookie in 1978 and won nine events, including a record five in a row, and captured the tour's rookie of the year, player of the year and Vare Trophy honors. She went on to record 48 tournament titles, including three LPGA championships, with career earnings of $5.3 million.
She retired from tournament golf in 2002, but in 2005 captained the U.S. Solheim Cup team to a three-point victory over the European team.
