Who is the only person to have won wimbledon singles title and british open golf title?

Question

dad asked me to google it and i couldn't find an answer. any ideas?

Answer 1

I do not believe that this has happened.  It is possible that it is a trick question and the Wimbledon's "singles champion" won the Boys title, not the Gentlemens.

Answer 2

No I was hoping you would enlighten me

Answer 3

your dads watching scottish open on tv and they asked.. hopefully they'll give the answer soon

Answer 4

I had thought  Babe Zaharias was the one and when I further researched her biography, found that she never competed in the British Open,  Sorry to mislead anyone.

Answer 5

Charlotte "Lottie" Dod (24 September 1871 – 27 June 1960) was an English sportswoman best known as a tennis player. She won the Wimbledon Ladies' Singles Championship five times, the first one when she was only fifteen, in the summer of 1887. She remains the youngest ladies' singles champion, though Martina Hingis was three days younger when she won the women's doubles title in 1996.

In addition to tennis, Dod competed in many other sports, including golf, field hockey, and archery. She also won the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship, played twice for the England women's national field hockey team (which she helped to found, and won a silver medal at the 1908 Summer Olympics in archery. The Guinness Book of Records has named her as the most versatile female athlete of all time, together with track and field athlete and fellow golf player Babe Zaharias.
