Marlene Stewart Streit
Marlene Stewart Streit congratulated by her daughters and runner-up Jocelyne Bourassa, after winning the Canadian Ladies Golf Open at Khanawake, Quebec, 26 August 1968, by John Daggett

Marlene Stewart Streit (born 1934) is recognized as one of the top female golf players in the world. She is the only golfer to have won the Canadian, United States, British and Australian amateur championships, and she captured eleven Canadian Ladies Open championships during her career.

Jocelyne Bourassa (born 1947) followed a remarkable amateur career during the 1960s by turning professional and winning “La Canadienne” in Montreal in 1973, the first Ladies Professional Golfers Association tournament to be held in Canada. She was also named Canadian female athlete of the year in 1972.
