Alamo Ladies Classic, Onetime LPGA Stop in San Antonio

The Alamo Ladies Classic was played 11 times on the LPGA Tour, mostly in the 1960s, in San Antonio, Texas.

First played: 1960

Last played: 1973

Three golfers dominated it: Kathy Whitworth won four times, Louis Suggs twice and Sandra Haynie twice. Another Hall of Famer, Marlene Hagge also won. That means nine out of 11 times played, the tournament was won by a future member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. Whitworth also finished as runner-up three times.

In all but one year it was a three-round tournament. The 54-hole scoring record was 212, set by Suggs in her 1961 victory. Her 1960 and 1961 wins here were among Suggs' last on the LPGA Tour. She won once in 1962 and then not again.
