'''Liselotte Maria "Lotta" Neumann''' (born 20 May 1966) is a [[Sweden|Swedish]] professional [[golf]]er. When she recorded her first LPGA Tour win, by claiming the [[1988 U.S. Women's Open]] title, Neumann also became the first Swedish golfer, male or female, to win a [[Women's major golf championships|major championship]].<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.svenskgolf.se/artiklar/tournytt/20170918/har-ar-alla-svenska-majorvinnare/ |title=Här är alla svenska majorvinnare |magazine=Svensk Golf |first=CM |last=Hellsten |date=18 September 2017 |trans-title=Here are all Swedish major winners |language=sv |access-date=15 September 2019}}</ref>

==Early years==
Neumann was born and grew up in [[Finspång]], [[Sweden]]. Her father Rune was a former football player and coach of a local girls football team. After practicing different sports and supported by her father, her mother Ingegerd and her brother Mats, Neumann began playing golf at the local 9-hole course at Finspång Golf Club. She showed early promise and won the unofficial national youth championships, Colgate Cup, at three different levels, as a 12, 14, and 16-year-old. Neumann has later given a lot of credit, for her successful career, to her local coach since her early years, Pierre Karlström. Neumann also has showed her loyalty to her first golf club by, three times during the peak of her career in the 1990s, inviting some of the female golf stars of the world, [[Laura Davies]], [[Karrie Webb]], [[Kelly Robbins]] and [[Jane Geddes]] among others, for exhibition matches in Finspång.<ref>[https://www.finspangsgk.se/se/klubb/historia/lotta-neumann Lotta Neumann] ''Finspångs Golfklubb'' Historia</ref>

==Amateur career==
In 1981, only 15 years of age, she sensationally won the [[Swedish International Stroke Play Championship|Swedish International Amateur Stroke-Play Championship]], one of three major amateur tournaments in Sweden at the time, at Jönköping Golf Club, with a record aggregate of 282 and a 9-stroke margin. She bettered her personal 72-hole best with 30 strokes and beat the whole Swedish amateur national team, some of whom had not even heard of Neumann before the tournament. At the time of her triumph, she wasn't even qualified for the Swedish national junior team, which, the same summer, won the European Lady Junior's Team Championship.<ref name=":1">{{cite magazine |url=http://www.e-magin.se/paper/tnvx7xpn/paper |title=Jösse Lotta, vilken skräll |language=sv |magazine=Svensk Golf |date=July 1981 |pages=25–27, 64}}</ref>

The year after, she successfully defended her stroke-play title and, at 16 years old, was a member of the national team at the [[Espirito Santo Trophy]] in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1983, she finished second in Orange Bowl International Junior Championship in [[Coral Gables, Florida|Coral Gables]], [[Florida]]. In 1984, she was the [[SM Match Play|Swedish Match Play]] champion (tournament for first time open for professionals), member of the winning Swedish team at the [[European Lady Junior's Team Championship]] at Campo de Golf El Saler, [[Valencia]], [[Spain]], and medalist at the 36-hole qualifying competition in the [[European Ladies' Team Championship|European Ladies Team Championship]], in [[Waterloo, Belgium|Waterloo]], [[Belgium]]. After another appearance at the [[Espirito Santo Trophy]] in [[Hong Kong]] in late 1984, she turned professional at the beginning of 1985, not yet 19 years old.<ref name="100years">{{cite web |url=http://www.e-magin.se/paper/1pfc350j/popup/1? |title=Golf - Den Stora Sporten' |language=sv |trans-title=Golf - the Great Sport |publisher=Swedish Golf Federation 100 Years |pages=71, 95 192, 198, 211, 220, 221, 224, 283}}</ref>

==Professional career==
She collected her first professional win at the Pierre Robert Cup, over 54 holes at [[Falsterbo Golf Club]], in Sweden in May 1985 and played on the [[Ladies European Tour]] (at the time named the WPGA Tour) the second half of the year, where she won twice. At the [[Höganäs Ladies Open]] at [[Mölle Golf Club]] in Sweden, she became the youngest ever winner on the WPGA Tour.

She led the [[1986 Ladies European Tour]] Order of Merit for most of the season, with eight straight top three finishes, but lost the lead to [[Laura Davies]] at the last tournament, the [[Open de España Femenino|Spanish Open]]. While Davies won the tournament, Neumann finished 27th, her worst of the season. In the rankings, Neumann finished second, earning £494 less than Davies. The same year the ladies' [[Swedish Golf Tour (women)|Swedish Golf Tour]] get started with seven tournaments and Neumann was its [[1986 Swedish Golf Tour (women)|first Order of Merit]] winner.

Neumann became a member of the [[LPGA Tour]] in [[1988 LPGA Tour|1988]], after tying fourth at the [[Qualifying school|LPGA Tour Final Qualifying]] Tournament in late 1987.

At the [[1988 U.S. Women's Open|1988]] [[U.S. Women's Open]] at [[Baltimore Country Club]], Five Farms, [[Baltimore]], [[Maryland]], July 21–24, at 22 years of age, Neumann led wire-to-wire in just her 16th LPGA Tour tournament, setting a new tournament first-round record 67 and 72-hole record 277, becoming the first Swedish major winner, male or female, as well as the first Swedish tournament winner on the LPGA Tour or the [[PGA Tour]]. She became the fifth non-U.S.-winner and the second youngest (by two months to [[Catherine Lacoste]] in [[1967 U.S. Women's Open|1967]]) in the 43-year history of the championship.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.e-magin.se/paper/mnr77hnf/popup/1? |title=Det otroliga är ett faktum! |trans-title=The incredible thing is a fact! |language=sv |magazine=Svensk Golf |date=August 1988 |pages=6–11}}</ref> She was voted 1988 LPGA Tour [[LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year|Rookie of the Year]] and earned her second [[Swedish Golfer of the Year]] award.

In total she won thirteen times on the LPGA Tour. The [[1988 U.S. Women's Open]] remains her only [[LPGA major]], but she won the [[Women's British Open]] in 1994, when it was recognised as a major championship by the [[Ladies European Tour]], but not by the LPGA Tour. She also finished second five times in three other major championships.

Her best finish on the LPGA Tour money list is third in [[1994 LPGA Tour|1994]]. She also finished top ten in [[1996 LPGA Tour|1996]], [[1997 LPGA Tour|1997]] and [[1998 LPGA Tour|1998]].

Throughout her career on the LPGA Tour, she continued to play on the [[Ladies European Tour]], as well as in [[Asia]] and [[Australia]]. She won five times in [[Japan]] and the 1995 [[Holden Women's Australian Open|Women's Australian Open]]. Her victory in the 1994 [[Women's British Open]] made her the fifth player to win both British and U.S. Open titles, joining [[Laura Davies]], [[Jane Geddes]], [[Betsy King]] and [[Patty Sheehan]]. This accomplishment was later also achieved by [[Alison Nicholas]], [[Pak Se-ri]], [[Karrie Webb]], [[Inbee Park]] and [[Ariya Jutanugarn]]. In [[1994 Ladies European Tour|1994]] Neumann topped the LET Order of Merit, was voted ''[[Golf World]]'''s Most Improved Golfer and awarded [[Swedish Golfer of the Year]] for the third time.

Neumann played in the European [[Solheim Cup]] team against United States, six times in a row, [[1990 Solheim Cup|1990]], [[1992 Solheim Cup|1992]], [[1994 Solheim Cup|1994]], [[1996 Solheim Cup|1996]], [[1998 Solheim Cup|1998]], and [[2000 Solheim Cup|2000]]. She captained the team to victory in August, [[2013 Solheim Cup|2013]] at [[Colorado Golf Club]] in [[Parker, Colorado]], the first time team Europe won the cup on foreign soil, and the first time Europe won consecutive cups. Neumann won the [[Women's World Cup of Golf]] for Sweden in 2006 with [[Annika Sörenstam]].

==Awards and honors==
In 1984, Neumann earned Elite Sign No. 78 by the [[Swedish Golf Federation]], on the basis of national team appearances and national championship performances.<ref>{{cite book |last=Jansson |first=Anders |url=http://www.e-magin.se/paper/1pfc350j/popup/1? |title=Golf - Den stora sporten |date=2004 |publisher=Swedish Golf Federation |isbn=91-86818007 |page=97 |language=Swedish |trans-title=Golf - The great sport}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=5 June 2024 |title=Svenska Golfförbundet, Utmärkelser, Elitmärket, 2011- |trans-title=Swedish Golf Federation, Awards, Elite Sign, 1981-1990 |url=https://golf.se/om-golfsverige/svenska-golfforbundet/utmarkelser/ |accessdate=6 November 2024 |publisher=Swedish Golf Federation |language=Swedish}}</ref>

She was appointed 1988 Swedish Sportswomen of the Year by newspaper ''Aftonbladet'' and the [[Swedish Sports Confederation]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Svärdkrona |first=Zendry |date=11 March 2011 |title=Här är Anjas föregångare - 43 pristagare genom åren |trans-title=Here are Anja's predecessors - 43 prize winners through the years |url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/a/P34k8b/har-ar-anjas-foregangare-43-pristagare-genom-aren |access-date=9 November 2024 |newspaper=Aftonbladet |language=Swedish}}</ref>

Besides being awarded Swedish Golfer of the Year three times, 1985, 1988 and 1994, Neumann received the Golden Club by the [[Swedish Golf Federation]] in 1998, as the tenth person, for great contributions to Swedish golf.<ref name="100years" />

In 1998, she also became an honorary member of the PGA of Sweden.<ref name="100years" />

She was recognized during the LPGA's 50th Anniversary in 2000 as one of the LPGA's top 50 players and teachers.

On 7 June 2006, the Ladies European Tour announced that Neumann has earned Lifetime Membership of the LET, at the time a feat achieved by six other golfers, [[Helen Alfredsson]], [[Laura Davies]], [[Marie-Laure de Lorenzi]], [[Alison Nicholas]], [[Dale Reid]] and [[Annika Sörenstam|Annika Sorenstam]].

In May 2022, Neumann was elected, as its fourth inductee, decided by the board of the [[Swedish Golf Federation]], into the Swedish Golf Hall of Fame, inaugurated the same year.<ref>{{cite news |last=Åsgård |first=Olof |date=13 May 2022 |title=Sveriges första majorvinnare tar plats i Sveriges Golf Hall of Fame |trans-title=Sweden's first major winner into the Swedish Golf Hall of Fame |url=https://www.svenskgolf.se/artiklar/nyheter/20220513/sveriges-forsta-majorvinnare-tar-plats-i-sveriges-golf-hall-of-fame/ |access-date=9 November 2024 |publisher=Svensk Golf |language=Swedish}}</ref>
