Annika Keeps Pressure on Ochoa
Just when you think Annika Sorenstam is losing her grip as the LPGA’s dominant player, she steps up her performance yet again. It’s easy to forget she’s been almost as dominant as Tiger Woods, but she’s gotten lost in all the hype of the younger players on the LPGA tour.
Case in point: she’s leading this week’s Dubai Ladies Masters by 5 strokes at the halfway point. Granted, this isn’t exactly a heavyweight field, but nonetheless, she’s in a familiar spot once again. While this tournament doesn’t count as points towards Player of the Year, it still sends a message to Lorena Ochoa that Sorenstam is still the big dog on the LPGA Tour.
