RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. Amy Alcott invented the Poppies Pond leap.Her name is all over everything about the most colorful victory celebration in womens golf, except the pond itself, which is named after Terry Wilcox, the former tournament director affectionately known as Poppie.While Alcott first made the leap 30 years ago, the plunge she took with Dinah Shore three years later ranks as her most memorable, and maybe the one that most cemented the leaps tradition as something that would set the event apart as a new major championship.I didnt have any clue what I was starting 30 years ago, Alcott said. It was just a moment where I embraced my happiness.But it was the moment with Shore that took the leap beyond womens golfs narrow boundaries.Shore, the singer, actress and television personality, devoted herself to promoting the womens game. She put her name on the event, first as the Colgate Dinah Shore and later as the Nabisco Dinah Shore. She gave it credibility, setting it apart as a must-play event, and she helped turn it into a major.Alcott was the featured speaker at the ANA Junior Inspiration program on Saturday night, a welcome dinner to the juniors competing in the qualifying event. She reminded all the young players there what Shore meant to a championship they all so want to play in.Shore, who died in 1994, is remembered at the 18th hole of the Mission Hills course named after her, the course that is home to the ANA Inspiration. Shores image, with her right hand extended in a wave, is captured in marble in a statue there.
ANA Inspiration: Articles, photos and videos I told those young players on their way to the 18th green, they should give Dinahs statue a high five, Alcott said.Shore was a friend to tour pros, and something of a mother figure to many of them, which led to her Poppies Pond leap when Alcott won in 1991.Alcotts mother, Lea, died six months before Alcott won the event for her third and final time that year. Shore knew the pain the loss caused Alcott, and she encouraged her that year.I saw Dinah in Los Angeles a few months before the tournament, Alcott said. She knew how close I was to my mother. She said, You need to win my tournament again. You win it this coming year, and Ill make the jump in the water with you.Alcott didnt know if Shore was serious, until Alcott was walking down the 18th fairway on the way to a runaway victory. She saw Shore standing in the wings behind the green.Dinah always wore white pants with a red blazer at the event, Alcott said. But she was wearing black pants, and her assistant was carrying a robe.Alcott turned to her caddie, Bill Kurre.I think Dinah was serious about jumping in the water, Alcott told Kurre.Shore did, in fact, leap in with Alcott.The crowd went crazy, Alcott said.And the video and photographs of the celebration showed up in places they wouldnt normally appear.In the photos after, Dinah is in a robe, with her hair up in a towel, Alcott said. Im standing there dripping wet.Another new tradition followed shortly, the championship winners robe.I didnt know what I was starting, Alcott said. But people tell me its one of the most iconic things in womens golf.

Tiger Woods shoots 1-over in first round of Genesis Open
Only five players have ever won the career Grand Slam, and none have accomplished the feat since Tiger Woods captured the claret jug at St. Andrews in 2000. But Spieth slayed a number of demons with his ability to rebound down the stretch at Royal Birkdale, and it's likely that he won't be stuck on three career majors for very long.

PGA Champion: Tony Finau Why he'll win: The PGA Championship often produces a winner that is not necessarily on everyone's radar. So why not Finau? He has been top-10 in each of the first three majors, was the 54-hole co-leader at the U.S. Open and is coming off a tie for 10th in his debut at the WGC-Bridgestone.
He turned over a 2-1 lead with one out in the sixth to Richard Rodriguez, and pinch-hitter Ben Gamel greeted him with an RBI single that made it 2-all. Jung Ho Kang, reinstated on Saturday from the 10-day injured list after being out with a left side strain, hit a two-run homer in the first off Chase Anderson.
