What a decent and likeable person. Her game was a great pleasure to watch as she dropped in birdie after birdie as if it couldn't be any other way, smiled at the crowd and laughed as if she just was having the time of her life. All good things must come to an end. I believe everyone truly liked her. She is an icon, for those who didn't live those times it isn't possible to describe it, let's just say that you really rooted for her to win every tournament. The only analogy I can come up with is that people felt about her the way they had felt about Arnold Palmer with the mens game, if Arnold was the king then Nancy was the queen.
