The 1986 LPGA Championship was held May 29 to June 1 at Jack Nicklaus Golf Center at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, a suburb northeast of Cincinnati. Played on the Grizzly Course, this was the 32nd edition of the LPGA Championship.
Entering the final round four strokes behind,[1][2] Pat Bradley birdied the last hole for a 68 to win by a stroke over runner-up Patty Sheehan.[3] It was the fifth of her six major championships, the second of three in 1986,[4] and completed the career grand slam. With the win, Bradley became the first to surpass $2 million in earnings on the LPGA Tour.[3][5]
Defending champion Nancy Lopez did not compete; she gave birth to her second daughter a few days earlier.[2][6]
