Her most disappointing Women's Open nearly behind her,
Lopez provided comic relief in the 1998 Women's Open at Blackwolf Run
G.C. by waving a white towel of surrender. She finished 18-over 160, prompting
her to say through tears: "It wasn't very much fun. I just wanted to hide
and go away from a while." (USGA Photo Archives)
