USGA honors Inkster with Bob Jones Award
Longtime Los Altos resident Juli Inkster, a member of the LGPA Hall of Fame, has been named the 2022 recipient of the USGA’s Bob Jones Award, which recognizes character, respect and sportsmanship in the game of golf. “Juli exemplifies the true nature of this award in every way,” USGA CEO Mike Whan said in a press release. “The game of golf is better because Juli is in it. She has earned respect throughout her impressive playing journey, beginning with three consecutive U.S. Women’s Amateur wins, all the way through her senior career. But more than that, her mentorship to other players has had a tremendous impact on so many.” Past recipients of the award include Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Nancy Lopez and former President George H.W. Bush. The USGA will honor Inkster in June at a ceremony held during U.S. Open Championship week in Brookline, Mass.
