I do not know the exact answer, but here is a list of her 36 professional victories:
1948 All American Open, World Championship, U.S. Womens Open.
1949 World Championship, Eastern Open.
1950 Titleholders Championship, Pebble Beach Weathervane, Cleveland Weathervane, Womens Western Open, All-American Open, World Championship, U.S. Womens Open, 144-hole Weathervane.
1951 Ponte Verde Beach Womens Open, Tampa Womens Open, Lakewood Weathervane, Richmond Womens Open, Valley Open, Meridian Hills Weathervane, All-American Open, World Championship, Texas Womens Open.
1952 Miami Weathervane, Titleholders Championship, Bakersfield Open (tied with Marlene Hagge, Betty Jameson and Betsy Rawls), Fresno Open, Womens Texas Open.
1953 Sarasota Open, Babe Zaharias Open.
1954 Serbin Open, Sarasota Open, Damon Runyan Cancer Fund Tournament, U.S. Womens Open, All-American Open. 1955 Tampa Open, Peach Blossom Classic.
Despite winning 36 professional tournaments, she only made about $61,500 over her entire LPGA career. Times sure have changed!!
