Diana: “I want to be the right person for the job, not the right girl"
/Ron Sirak talks to new USGA President Diana Murphy about taking over the reins from Tom O'Toole.
She is the second female president of the USGA and doesn't want you to see her that way.
“I want to be the right person for the job, not the right girl,” Murphy, 59, recently told GolfDigest.com. “This is not about me, this is about the USGA and doing what is best for the game of golf.”
From talking with Murphy you get the feeling she wants to be like the perfect USGA rules official or baseball umpire: So good at what she does you don’t even notice she’s there.
Sadly for the USGA's executive branch, these days it's easier than ever to not notice they're there.
