一 | LEWES, Del. -- Betsy Rawls trained to be a physicist and instead devoted her life to golf, first as a four-time U.S. Women's Open champion and later as a tournament administrator, a remarkable career that landed her in the World Golf Hall of Fame.Rawls, who won eight majors in her 55 LPGA Tour titles, died Saturday at her beach home in Delaware, the LPGA Tour confirmed. She was 95.“There are simply not many careers that can compare to Betsy's,” said Mike Whan, the CEO of the USGA and former LPGA Tour commissioner.He cited her 55 wins and eight majors — Rawls ranks sixth on both lists — along with her induction into the LPGA and World Golf Hall of Fame, the Bob Jones Award and her 17 years as tournament director of what was then the LPGA Championship.“She was a legend in the game who would have been successful in anything she pursued, so we are all lucky she made golf her passion,”Whan said.The intention was always in the field of physics. That's what Rawls was studying at the University of Texas when she connected with fabled swing coach Harvey Penick. She won the Texas Women's Amateur in 1949 and 1950, and she finished runner-up to Babe Zaharias in the 1950 U.S. Women's Open.“I had every intention of being a physicist,” Rawls said in a story posted on the LPGA's website. "I played golf for fun and never considered turning professional. Then I decided it would be more fun to be in golf than physics, and Wilson paid me a salary and all my expenses. They paid my expenses for 20 years. One year, I gave 120 clinics.”She won the U.S. Women's Open by five shots over Louise Suggs in 1951, the first of four titles in the biggest event in women's golf. Only the late Mickey Wright won as many Opens. Wright once said, "Betsy has always been committed to work and dedicated to the game. I can think of only two women who have achieved as much, not only as players but for their lifetime contributions, and that’s Betsy and Patty Berg.”Rawls was born May 4, 1928, in Spartanburg, South Carolina, though she moved to Texas in 1940 and grew up mostly in Arlington.She won at least once a year from 1951 through 1965. She won the last of her eight majors at age 41 in the 1969 LPGA Championship by four shots.Rawls led the LPGA Tour money list in 1952 and 1959. She won the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average in 1959 and led the LPGA in victories three times.She was part of the inaugural class for the LPGA Hall of Fame in 1967 and in 1996 received the Bob Jones Award, the highest honor by the USGA. She became the first woman to work the men's U.S. Open as a rules official in 1980.She also was the LPGA president in 1961 and 1962, and after retiring from full-time competition in 1975, she worked a tournament director and later ran the LPGA Championship.“Anyone who can make a living in golf is lucky,” Rawls once said. “Then to receive all the benefits accorded to me in the process … well, that makes me feel fortunate. It’s more than I could possibly deserve.”___AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf。

二 | 北京时间8月20日,据ESPN报道,马克・沃尔特将自己所持的洛杉矶湖人多数股权出售给鲍勃・艾格与乔希・库什纳,围绕巴斯家族所持湖人股份的纷争就此拉开。与此同时,作为球队的小股东之一,黄馨祥博士暂无出售手中股权的打算。 “黄馨祥博士绝对不会出售自己持有的湖人少数股份。”黄馨祥家族的律师肯沃西今日向ESPN表示,“鲍勃・艾格和乔希・库什纳是我们的好友。一旦二人完成与沃尔特的交易交割,我们会作为积极参与、全力支持的合伙人加入他们。我们对湖人的未来满怀期待,期待球队能够再度拿下诸多总冠军。

三 | ” 74岁的黄馨祥博士在2010年购入湖人股份,从传奇球星魔术师约翰逊手中买下4%的球队股权。他既是外科医生,也是一名成功商人,在癌症研究与治疗领域颇有建树;据彭博亿万富豪指数统计,他的净资产超过150亿美元,被称为“全球最富有的医生”。黄馨祥祖籍广东台山,父母二战时期从中国移民南非 早在去年10月,巴斯家族就已经把多数股权卖给沃尔特,这笔交易也获得了NBA董事会的批准。目前巴斯家六兄妹合计仍持有球队17.8%的股份。 家族五名成员决定,按照沃尔特这笔交易125亿美元的整体估值,把家族手里剩余的全部股权卖给艾格与库什纳。 “约翰尼、吉米、珍妮、乔伊与杰西已经做出决定,出售家族剩余股权,我们对此意见完全统一。”五兄妹的声明写道,“我们打算审慎、体面地按照正规流程推进这件事。” ESPN消息人士透露,当初把股权卖给沃尔特的协议中写有随售权条款:如果沃尔特后续出售球队,巴斯家族可以按照新的估值,同步将自家股份一并出售。 现任湖人代理理事珍妮・巴斯是唯一持反对意见的人,她正在对家族的出售投票结果提出法律抗辩。 珍妮的律师亚当・斯特赖桑德援引2017年的法院裁定:巴斯家族所持湖人股份,未经共同受托人(即珍妮・巴斯、简妮・巴斯、乔伊・巴斯)批准,不得完成任何出售程序。

四 | 在将股权卖给沃尔特之前,巴斯家族共有四人仍在湖人任职:珍妮担任球队理事;简妮负责湖人青年基金会;乔伊为候补理事兼研发副总裁;杰西担任球队副总经理。 出售完成之后,只有珍妮继续留任,沃尔特当时承诺至少让她继续任职五年。 艾格在接受《加州邮报》采访时表示,他原本打算遵守这份与珍妮的约定,但补充道:“世事难料,如果情况发生变化,那也只能接受。” 倘若巴斯家其他兄妹成功出售股权,珍妮手里的持股占比将不足3%。

五 | 按照NBA规则,想要继续担任球队代理理事,她必须至少持有球队15%的股份,也就意味着她还需要再收购12%的股权。 据TheAthletic报道,珍妮有意补齐这部分持股,但如果得不到艾格、库什纳,或是自家部分兄妹愿意把股份转卖给她,想要凑够这12%难度极大。

六 | 由于黄馨祥手中4%的股权确定不会对外出让,这种情况下,珍妮唯一可以争取的其他小股东就只剩下持有湖人约3%股份的埃德・罗斯基二世。
