Pat Hurst (born May 23, 1969) is an American professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour.

Hurst's father is American and her mother is originally from Japan. She was born in San Leandro, California and raised in California.

Amateur career

As an amateur, Hurst won the 1986 U.S. Girls' Junior and the 1990 U.S. Women's Amateur. She was also the 1989 U.S. Women's Amateur medalist and was a member of the 1990 U.S. Espirito Santo Trophy team.^[2]

Hurst attended San José State University and won team and individual NCAA titles in 1989. She was All-American First team in 1989 and 1990, Big West Champion in 1988 and Big West Champion and Athlete of the Year in 1990. She is a member of the San Jose State Sports Hall of Fame.^[3]

Professional career

Hurst left San Jose State University in 1991 and turned professional. She entered LPGA Tour Qualifying School in 1991 and in 1992, missing both times, the second time by one stroke. She spent the next few years working as a teaching pro at the La Quinta Country Club and playing on the Players West Tour, where she won five times. She eventually quit playing golf at one point, taking a job at a Nevada Bob's store in her hometown of San Leandro, California.^[4]

In 1994 she entered the LPGA Qualifying Tournament again. This time she tied for 20th to earn exempt status for the 1995 season.

In 1995, Hurst won Rookie of the Year honors in her debut season on the LPGA Tour. She has six career LPGA titles, including one major, the 1998 Nabisco Dinah Shore. Her best money list finish was 6th in 2000. She has represented the United States in the Solheim Cup five times: in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2005, and 2007.
