Legend: 85-Year Old JoAnne 'Big Mama' Carner Tells Fans She Hit A Good Shot Because She's Heading To The Bar, Shoots Her Age At The US Women's Senior Open

This right here is the coolest person in all of sports. Forget anyone else who you might put in the cool list, they ain't beating Big Mama. 85 years old, competing in the US Senior Open, shooting her age and throwing one-liners out about going to the bar? That's the peak of athleticism. That's the dream. It's not the first time Big Mama has shot her age: 

Oh and spare me the 'oh she shot an 85.' You try being 85 and doing that. I just hope to 1) be alive at 85 and 2) be able to play a round of golf without wearing a diaper and shitting myself. If any of that happens for me, we're living good at 85. But we're not going to the bar after playing 18 and training hard for the US Senior Open

[Source] - JoAnne “Big Mama” Carner still smokes cigarettes, though she’s tried to quit from time to time. The 85-year-old joked that she might quit again this week given how many stairs there are from the bag room to the locker room at Fox Chapel Golf Club in Pittsburgh.

Worked out. Pipe show on 1

Big Mama ain't no joke either. She won 43 times on the LPGA Tour including two US Women's Opens in 1971 and 1976. She's the only woman to win US Girl's Junior, US Women's Amateur and the US Women's Open (according to Wikipedia). So basically she's a star. Also why she's still competitive as hell

I'll take an 85 right now if you offer it to me. I'm a bogey golfer, an 85 is a decent round. Need to know what cocktail Big Mama went with at the bar though. My guess is a double vodka soda or a martini. All I know is if I'm 85 I wanna be living like Joanne Carner.
