Re: No more treatment available for my wife's appendix cancer. Thanks for the reply. The cancer has spread diffusely in the peritoneum and appears to be affecting the nerves controlling the bowel - so a stoma isn't really an option unless the gut regains some function and surgery isn't an option either.
Another longest drive in PGA Tour history is credited to Mike Austin, 64 years old at the time, who hit a 515-yard drive on Sept. 25, 1974 in the National Seniors Open Championship, the pre-cursor to the U.S. Senior Open. Austin hit the drive on a 450-yard par 4 at Desert Rose Golf Club in Las Vegas.
Thompson finished second in driving distance among LPGA pros last year, but the stats didnât exactly present a fair measure. Nicole Smith won the Kia Power Drive award as the longest hitter on tour, averaging 274 yards per drive. Smith made just 11 starts a year ago and made just two cuts, so her statistical sampling was small, compared to Thompson, who also had drives measured on tougher courses than Smith, who played just one major.
