What's the name of the American athlete who won two gold medals in track and field before winning ten LPGA titles?

Mildred Ella Didrikson Zaharias is recognized as one of the all-time great athletes. She competed in golf, basketball, baseball, as well track & field. Although she won two gold medals in track and field at the 1932 Summer Olympics, she decided to pursue professional golf for the rest of her career (much less stress on the knees).
