In 1970, she won the North and South Women's Amateur at Pinehurst, and played for the 1972 United States Curtis Cup team. She attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida and became a member of the LPGA Tour in 1974.

She had 18 LPGA wins; the last win came in 1991 at the Crestar-Farm Fresh Classic. She played on the LPGA Tour through 2000, then became eligible to join the newly founded Women's Senior Golf Tour (now Legends Tour) in 2001. She won the Shopko Great Lakes Classic in 2001.
