Lopez halted Pat Bradley wins Lady Keystone Open
Nancy Lopez, rookie star of the LPGA, finished 15 strokes behind Pat Bradley to end a historic bid for six straight wins. Bradley shot 10 under par 206 to win the $50,000 Lady Keystone Open, as Lopez noted the ovation from her fans and prepared for life after a record streak. Lopez has earned $156,266 since turning pro last July, the most for any rookie, while Bradley's first LPGA win this year netted $7,500. Lopez plans to dye her hair blonde next week, joking about media attention after the event in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
