Sandra Post, CM (born June 4, 1948) is a retired professional golfer, the first Canadian to play on the LPGA Tour. In 1968 at age 20 in her rookie professional year, she won a women's major – the LPGA Championship, and was the youngest player at the time to win a major.
Over her 16 year career on the LPGA Tour, Post won 8 championships and became the first Canadian to win multiple times in the same season, doing so twice in each of 1978 and 1979. The next time a two-win season by a Canadian occurred was in 2000 by Lorie Kane.[3] In 1988, Post was named to both the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame and the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame.[4] In 2004, she was inducted into the Order of Canada as a Member with the designation, CM.[4]
