the U.S. Open
Women's champi-

she won the U.S.
Amateur cham-
pionship and fin-
ished second in
the U.S. Open.
Pressel, who
Morgan Pressel
was a bat mitz-
vah and is openly proud of being
Jewish, has lived with her maternal
grandparents, Herb and Evelyn
Krickstein, since her mother,
Kathy, died of breast cancer in
2003 at age 43. They travel with
Morgan on the pro tour, while her
two younger siblings stay with her
father, Mike Pressel.
Morgan has many ties to
Michigan: Her great-grandfa-
ther Joseph Krickstein was a
Conservative rabbi in Ann Arbor.
Her mother was a Big Ten ten-
nis champion at the University of
Michigan (her parents met at a
Blues Brothers concert in suburban
Detroit). Her uncle is tennis star

Aaron Krickstein, once ranked No.
6 in the world.
The Kraft-Nabisco tournament
was founded as the Colgate/
Dinah Shore Winner's Circle
Championship in 1972 by the late
Jewish singer Dinah Shore, and her
name was attached to the event
until 2000. Following tournament
tradition, Pressel celebrated her
Kraft-Nabisco win by jumping into
a pond on the golf course. Her
grandmother also jumped in.
This tradition began in 1988,
when golfer Amy Alcott, one of
the greatest Jewish athletes of
all time, celebrated her victory
by jumping into a pond near the
18th green. In 1991, Dinah Shore
jumped into the pond with Alcott
when Alcott won the third of her
four Shore championships. Since
1994, every winner has jumped in
the pond, and the lake jump is now
the equivalent of getting the green
jacket at the men's Masters Golf
Tournament. I
