}}Kathy Ahern (May 7, 1949 – July 6, 1996) was an American professional golfer on the LPGA Tour.[1][2][3]

Career

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Ahern was raised in Dallas, Texas, and won the Texas women's public links title at age 15 {{nowrap|in 1964.[1]}} She joined the LPGA Tour direct from high school in 1967 and won three events, including one major title, the LPGA Championship {{nowrap|in 1972.[4]}}

Ahern's first win came at the Southgate Ladies Open in August {{nowrap|1970,[5]}} and the last at George Washington Classic in {{nowrap|July 1972.[6]}} She was also a runner-up at the U.S. Women's Open in 1972, the week before her final win.[7] Ahern played little in the 1980s, but remained a presence around the tour and sometimes caddied for Sherri Turner.[1][8]
