Why Annika is the Best Ever
Is Annika the world's greatest player? In the current issue of Fairways & Greens magazine, Annika Sorenstam offers clues on what makes her tick in a wide-ranging, in-depth cover story
(PRWEB) June 2, 2005 -- Is Annika Sorenstam the greatest golfer alive? That’s
the premise put forth in the June issue Fairways & Greens magazine, now
available at Borders Books and Books-A-Million stores from coast to coast, plus
hundreds of selected golf course, resort and retail outlets throughout the
West.
At the very least, Annika is well on her way to becoming the
greatest woman player in history. The Grand Slam is still in her sights and she
could start another epic win streak at any time. Even Kathy Whitworth’s LPGA
record of 88 career wins is within view for the soft-spoken Swede with a
Tiger-like competitive streak. What makes such a champion tick? Annika herself
offers some clues. “When I have a chance to break somebody’s record, of course
that means a lot to me,” she tells Managing Editor Vic Williams. “It means
having a chance to see if I an do it, and that is a way of motivating myself to
get better.”
Also chiming in with their opinions of why Annika “rules”
are LPGA Commissioner Ty Votaw and even Donald Trump, who calls her his favorite
player, and his friend.
Still not enough Annika? Senior Editor Darin
Bunch pitches the idea of pitting her against Tiger on the hallowed fairways of
Pebble Beach, and seeing who comes out on top.
Other features in the June
issues of Fairways & Greens include the first word on the golf course, hotel
