In her final 1991 win at the LPGA Tour (The Nabisco Dinah Shore competition) she initiated the tradition of jumping into the greenside lake in celebration. Aside from the 1975 Rookie of the Year, Alcott also bagged the LPGA Vare trophy in 1980. She was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1999, after the LPGA changed the awarding guidelines from counting wins to counting points.
