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 and restaurants of Wynn Las Vegas, with an assist from architect Tom Fazio; a first look at Trump National Golf Course Los Angeles, with an assist from The Donald himself, who is now the completely re-worked course’s architect of record; a golfer’s tour of Hawaii’s Big Island; visits to various West Coast destinations including Greenhorn Creek in Northern California, Lake Las Vegas, Marriott Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert and Dayton Valley Country Club near Reno; a fascinating trek to Jasper and Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies; and previews of the popular American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe and the new Glenlivet World Team Open, a two-month-long, nationwide amateur tournament.

Next up for the August cover feature is CBS announcer and all-around Wildman David Feherty.
