When we lived in Tucson in the early days of Annika's career, and having attended the University of Arizona, she was always the premier draw. Moreover, what a wonderful person. By that I mean, in those somewhat early days, even when the crowds may have been somewhat small at the LPGA stop in Tucson, she would acknowledge even one person who might clap and cheer her on for a good shot on some remote fairway, to say nothing of the fact that she was always available for a signature if any fan so desired. Always acknowledging the fans who paid good money to see the terrific women on tour. She's a terrific human being, and one hell of a pro.
