Hall of Fame golfer Susie Maxwell Berning has died at age 83 after a battle with lung cancer. The LPGA says it lost a great ambassador and a pioneer for women raising children on tour. Berning won the U.S. Women's Open three times and the Western Open when it was a major. She played a limited schedule while trying to raise two daughters.

“We will always point to her as a role model for balancing homelife and career, winning major championships while also raising a family. Susie was a strong, pioneering athlete who I have personally admired and whose legacy will continue to inspire future generations of athletes.” “I said to myself: ‘Oh, boy, she’s having a lot of fun. If that’s what golf is about, I think I want to try it,’” Berning said.
She played just seven tournaments in 1970 when she was pregnant with her daughter, Robin, returning to win the Women’s Open in 1972 and 1973. She played twice in 1977, the year she gave birth to a second daughter, Cindy.
