Marcoux Samaan, the athletic director at Princeton the last seven years, was elected Tuesday as the ninth commissioner of the LPGA Tour, and the second woman to hold the position since the LPGA was founded 71 years ago.
“It certainly wasn't the most scholarly document that you'll find,” she said with a laugh.
