Wogone --

The pointers in this question seem to indicate that it's seeking Kelli Kuehne.  

The LPGA site notes:
"In 1996, she won the British Women's Amateur Championship, as well as
the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship, becoming the only golfer in
history to win those two championships in the same year."

Kuehne did not win any tournaments recently, but did win the LPGA
Corning Classic in 1999, three years after she turned professional. 
It's her only win as a professional:

Thanks for accepting the information.  The question seems to ignore
her single 1999 win (though she hasn't won a tournament this century!)
