In a playoff between two U.S. Women's Open champions, JoAnne Gunderson Carner squared off against defending champion Sandra Palmer at Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pa. Carner, known as "Big Mama" to her adoring fans, jumped out to a quick lead before Palmer pulled even. Clutch putts on the last two holes secured a two-stroke victory for Carner, becoming the only woman to date to win eight USGA championships. For more U.S. Open history, visit: http://ow.ly/xrkpI
