You Always Remember the First Time

PrintTo use a vaguely naughty sounding horseracing term, Leta Lindley broke her maiden on the LPGA Tour on Sunday, victimizing one of my favorites, Jeong Jang, to do so.
After 295 starts (assuming my math is correct) on the LPGA Tour, Lindley finally won her first tournament. It was the LPGA Corning Classic, and she beat JJ in a playoff.
Two-hundred 95 starts. That's a long time to wait for your first win. But it's not the longest. According to About.com , the LPGA record for most starts before the first win is held by Carolyn Hill, who didn't win until her 359th event. Cindy Figg-Currier's first came in her 313th start.
As About.com notes, "Neither Hill nor Figg-Currier won again after these victories."
We wish Lindley better luck in getting win No. 2.
