[edit] Amateur career
Turner was born in Greenville, South Carolina. A golfer by the age of 5, she was the 1974-75 Carolinas Junior champion. While playing for Furman University, she was a medalist at three tournaments, including the Women's Southern Intercollegiate. She was selected for the All-American Team in 1979.
[edit] Professional career
Turner joined the LPGA Tour in 1984. She won three events on the tour, including one major, the 1988 Mazda LPGA Championship. In 1988, she topped the money list and was named the Golf Writers Association of America Female Player of the Year. The following year she was tenth on the money list, but from that point on her form faded, and she only finished in the top forty in two more years. In 1999, she was a runner up at the U.S. Women's Open.
