"I'm not a real sentimental type."
/Doug Ferguson reports on the USGA requesting and getting Mickey Wright's memorabilia for a special room at Golf House.
The 76-year-old Wright has been inducted into the LPGA Hall of Fame and honored at the Memorial Tournament by Jack Nicklaus. The Mickey Wright Room at the USGA Museum is special — not just for her, but to draw attention to women's golf.
"I'm so excited for this room, the first for a woman," Wright said in an interview with The Associated Press. "It's a great honor. The best thing will be the contrast that people will be able to see between today's golf, which is a completely different game from what was played in the '40s, '50s and '60s. I hope they can appreciate their roots."
