Golfing legend reigns but it's not Tiger Woods
In OMERS POINT New Jersey AP reports that Annika Sorenstam has quietly posted the best record in golf over the past two years with 15 victories since 1995 including two U.S. Opens while Tiger Woods dominates headlines. LPGA commissioner Jim Ritts notes Tiger's buzz boosts interest but Sorenstam's sixteenth month of top play stands out. Sorenstam has four wins in 12 events this year with eight top three finishes in 12 starts and could become the first woman to win three consecutive U.S. Opens, a feat only Willie Anderson achieved in 1903 1905. The Swede leads the year’s money list followed by Karrie Webb and Kelly Robbins.
