Jeopardy! I can no longer boast that...

I was trying to think of Geiberger, I knew it was a G---er name and I knew it first happened quite a few years ago. My blurted answer would have been Chip Beck, which apparently is correct as well. Would not have come up with Duval or Sorenstam.

without using google, who was the first basketball to score 1000 rebounds in a single season?

Well that's like 12+/game and they shot a lot of bricks back in the day so it could be someone like George Mikan. But when Russell and Chamberlain came in they rewrote the record books and would each average something ridiculous like 18-20 rebounds/game. So my guess is Russell (he got to the NBA first) with some concern it will be Mikan or someone obscure.

Again, I misread the question, trying to answer it before the entire question had been read. All I saw was "Golfer" and "59", and presumed they were looking for Geiberger.

They probably peppered the entire thing with clues that pointed to Sorenstam, such as "Swedish" and "female" and "2001", but I had already leaped to my Gieberger conclusion, and can't say.
