Wednesday, Karrie Webb was given the second highest honor that can be given to an Australian. Webb, who was named a Member of the Order of Australia in 2010, was elevated to an Officer of the Order of Australia during a ceremony in Brisbane.
“I’m very humbled to even be considered for this honour but it’s even more humbling when the most deserving people of our community, the armed service members are receiving there honours for fighting for and protecting our freedoms,” said Webb in a post to her Instagram account.
The Hall of Famer, who is a 41-time winner and seven-time major champion, was recognized not only for her accomplishments in golf but also her creation of the Karrie Webb Series, which mentors and provides scholarships to young, promising golfers in Australia.
