Karrie Webb

The 2000 and 2001 is a tremendously accomplished player, but she hasn't won a major since 2006. Still, even since then, Webb has found a way to be be a presence in major championships.

If Webb a reasonable contender through two rounds, she is a safe bet to be a contender for the rest of the tournament.
