Annika leads the pack by three as we round the turn and head for the home stretch. Check out the action on ESPN2 today. You can also follow her progress on the leaderboard (live scoring) and discuss the tournament in the comment section. Go Annika!
You sure make it look easy!!!
That was a tremendous week of textbook golf. I believe you might be back. :)
Congratulations!!

Annika,
What a fantastically controlled tournament you've played.
Every week your progress continues and we get to see and experience the facets of your game that make you such a great CHAMPION.
To boot, it's great and satisfying to see you enjoying your play.
Keep stroking and keep smiling!! We love it!!

Glad to see that both golf and life are going so well for you!

A well deserved beer shower from Mike! What a wonderful week of golf, Annika. You were in total control from tee to green. Your victory is a very nice Mother's day present for your wonderful mom. We are sooo very happy for you. We know how hard you worked to get back to this point. Everything you told Helen at the Academy during lunch in November has played out to perfection. You are such a strong and dedicated woman. Now. keep it up and take the NY Metro area by storm next week.
Congratulations, Annika!!!

Sweet!!! Congrats and thanks for getting the golf media off the "What's wrong with Annika" stories. I'm tired of hearing them and I don't have to answer the questions :-). You're still #1 with me and it looks like the 2008 season is going to be a great one for LPGA fans. Keep the great golf coming!!!
Posted by: ELFinAZ | May 11, 2008 at 03:15 PM
You have made many mothers around the world happy today, especially your own, I'm sure! Four rounds in the 60's and tying the men's low record of -19, who else could do that but you?!
Your iron shots and putting today were amazing, so pinpoint and precise. Loved the Michelob shower and smiles all around. The color of your polo and hat were perfect to reflect your cheery disposition on a great day. #72! The best is yet to come - congratulations!
