CAREER Webb grew up in Ayr in Queensland , and still maintains a residence there. She began her professional golfing career in 1994, joining the United States LPGA tour in 1996. Webb has won seven Major Championships , including the Women's British Open in 2002, the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2000 and 2006, the Du Maurier Classic in 1999, the McDonald's LPGA Championship in 2001, and the U.S. Women's Open in 2000 and 2001. Webb has won all five different women's majors, (including the du Maurier Classic, which is no longer a major) completing the career Super Slam. Webb also won the Women's British Open in 1995 and 1997, before it was considered a major by the LPGA, though (much less significantly) it was rated as a major by the Ladies European Tour at that time. Her 2006 Kraft Nabisco win took her into the top ten of the Women's World Golf Rankings for the first time since they were introduced in February 2006. Webb qualified for entry to the World Golf Hall Of Fame in 2000, but was not eligible for induction until she has played ten LPGA Tour events in each of ten seasons. She met this criterion on June 9, 2005 when she completed the first round of the LPGA Championship . She became the youngest living person ever to enter the Hall of Fame, and will keep that distinction until 2007, when fellow LPGA star and Hall of Fame qualifier Se Ri Pak completes her 10th year on tour. Currently represents Epson, Lazy Susan, Srixon Golf & Oakley PERSONAL LIFE In 2003 Webb was outed as Lesbian by an Australian journalist, who claimed that she had been involved in a four year relationship with fellow LPGA professional Kelly Robbins .
