AI notes: On September 26, 1931, at age 20, Helen Hicks captured the championship of the U.S. Women’s Amateur by defeating the legendary Glenna Collett Vare 2 & 1 in the final match. It was a landmark moment: Hicks, already noted for her long drives and confident demeanor, showcased poise under pressure—on the decisive hole she measured her shot carefully, placed it eight feet past the flag, then confidently sank the putt to clinch the title. That win marked one of several major amateur triumphs in her breakout 1931 season, reinforcing her status among the “Big Four” of women’s amateur golf alongside Vare, Maureen Orcutt and Virginia Van Wie.
