At that point of time, there were not a lot of Canadian women playing golf professionally but DC-J burst on to the scene and inspired hundreds of Canadian women to become professional golfers. She is a member of the <strong>Canadian Golf Hall of Fame<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>DC-J was the first Canadian female golfer to surpass $1 million in prize money and would go on to finish with more than $3 million in career prize money. <\/p>\n<p>A native of British Columbia, she would go on to win 3 LPGA tours and compete in more than 20 Canadian Women\u2019s Open. She battled a type of bone cancer known as <strong>chondrosarcoma<\/strong> and passed away on November 12, 2016 at the age of 56.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian women golfers paid tribute to DC-J at the recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpwomensopen.com\/\">CP Women&#039;s Open<\/a> in honor of her memory and the impact that she had on their lives and sport. One of those players was <strong>Alena Sharp<\/strong> who had a yellow ribbon monogrammed with the initials DC-J pinned to her hat. She also wrote those initials on her golf balls to pay tribute to one of the pioneers in Canadian women\u2019s golf. There were also a number of people in the crowd who were also sporting yellow ribbons to honor DC-J.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Sharp said <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#039;m really happy to see everybody wearing the ribbons this week and honoring her. It&#039;s a great tribute. It&#039;s just so sad that someone that young and that healthy can have that kind of bad luck. She&#039;s not with us anymore, which is so sad<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lori Kane who was a close friend of DC-J was happy to see so many female golfers and fans pay tribute to her friend. Kane said that DC-J\u2019s husband and son would appreciate the gesture very much and remember how much Dawn Coe-Jones was loved and appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/golf-betting\">Golf<\/a> Fans at the CP Women&#039;s Open were also happy to see superstar and local girl <strong>Brooke Henderson<\/strong> take to the green. She did not have an impressive first round at 3 over par along with <strong>Jennifer Ha<\/strong> who is from Calgary. Henderson remained positive despite a poor first round and said that a good night\u2019s sleep should help her recover and focus better for the second round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dawn Coe-Jones (DC-J) played a major role in spreading and encouraging women\u2019s golf in Canada through her performances in the 90s.
