A year and a half ago I made this T-Shirt for the Samsung World Championship at Big Horn in Palm Desert. I drove out the morning of the last round from Phoenix to watch Annika play. She was leading the tournament so it was looking good for me to wear this T-Shirt when she had 9 holes to go but it didn't work out the way we wanted.
I did get to wear it on Sunday after she won at Turtle Bay and it was definitely worth the wait. Here I'm posing with it in front of the ANNIKA ACADEMY this morning and I'm very proud of wearing it and of Annika for winning her 70th LPGA tournament.
I'm currently working on a new T-Shirt with a 75 on it and hopefully I don't have to wait that long to be able to wear it. Right Sis??????
I'm very proud of you for coming back last year and finishing with a BANG and then starting this year with another BANG. Keep it up! Love you!

Charlotta,
Loved the tshirt! Aren't sisters great?! You obviously are a close knit family and there to cheer and support each other; good for you. Hopefully Annika will not make you wait too long to wear no. 75! Good luck, Annika, this week in Hawaii!

Lotta,
That's an achievable goal now that your Sister is feeling better. Here is to retiring that one so you can hang it next to 70 by the end of the season.

Excellent shirt Charlotta!
I was so thrilled to see that #70 sent her back up to #2 in the world...nice jump.
Maybe win #75 and back to #1 in world can both happen in 2008...
We'll all be watching and hoping for a 2-0 record in Hawaii.

Way to go Annika!! It's so great to have your sister so proud of you. I have two sisters and there is nothing better than the closeness we share. You are so lucky to have and enjoy each other. Stay close and cheer each other on, we are happy for you both! We will be watching this weekend and know it is a great year just starting.

Individual sports are my thing and you are my
favorite of all. Hope you can make it two in a row this week. Would you ever consider representing the U.S. now that you are a dual
citizen?
