Sorenstam Wins By Seven At Michelob

Firstly apologies. At the beginning of the year we said Tiger could do the ‘Grand Slam’ and Lorena Ochoa would be all conquering on the LPGA.

It turns out we may have got a little carried away. With Tiger falling at the first hurdle the resurgence of Annika Sorenstam has put a halt towards Lorena’s march into the history books.
Sorenstam fired a five-under 66 to cruise to a seven-shot win at the Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill. The former world No. 1 who went winless last year, took her third title of the season at Willamsburg, Virginia, with a 72-hole tournament-record total of 19-under 265.

"It was a very special one. I love coming here, I think it's a great golf course. I just haven't done well here in the past," said the super Swede, who picked up £115,000 for the win. "It means a lot to play well here. They've had great winners here in the past and I wanted to do something special this week."


Annika deals with the hosepipe ban in her own way.

Ochoa on the other hand, who was tied for second at halfway, slipped to joint 12th after a final round of 70.

"I was a little frustrated. It was a long week," said Ochoa. "I had trouble with the speed of the greens and they also broke more than I thought. It's time to move on to the next one because it wasn't my week."

Nice one Annika. Obviously we haven’t learnt our lesson and are thinking of some outrageous predictions for the rest of the season.

Boo Weekley to win the 2008 US Presidential race anyone?
You heard it here first.
