“I’m proud to think that I did something to help move Canadian golf,” said Lorie Kane. “I just think I was doing what everybody else had shown me to do, and they may not have gotten the recognition that I’m getting.
Kane’s been given cause to reflect since she was one of six athletes named to the 2020 class of Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame on Wednesday, earning her induction after four wins on the LPGA Tour. She’s also been an inspiration to later generations of Canadian golfers, something that she finds very fulfilling.
“My parents always taught me to leave it better than I found it so you know that’s what I’ve been trying to do.” An ambassador of the sport who has competed in the CP Women’s Open 29 times, Kane has been an inspiration for many Canadian golfers, including current LPGA members like Henderson and Alena Sharp. Kane points to her predecessors as her own inspiration, however.
“I got lucky that I was trending in the right direction as the sport was trending in the right direction.”
