Glad she's back and winning again. The woman's game has been very quiet without her

Great for Sorenstam.

But: No young Europeans in the mix.

And: Think you're getting ahead of yourself Rob with the idea that Annika might "achieve the Grand Slam". One swallow . . . and all that.

I'm sure Lorena Ochoa will have taken note though!

A back-on-her-game Annika against Lorena Ochoa and Suzanne Pettersen while the young guard of Creamer, Pressel, Gulbis et al and the old guard of Webb, Inkster and Steinhauer snap at their heels should make for a great season.

Now where's the Golf Channel with their coverage of the LPGA Tour..........aw, nutz!

Ach, I'm sure some other golf broadcaster must have stepped in............aw, more nutz!

I am sure I watched her win in Dubai in December. I was in the Grandstand when her playing partner dumped it in the lake on the 18th. Does that tournament not count as a win then?

LPGA tour win....but you're right it isn't phrased to acknowledge the existence of, or any value to, the LET.

Although noone, including the Beeb, can be bothered to show the LPGA now that JJB has killed the Golf Channel.

Yes, she won in Dubai but the Dubai Ladies Classic is part of the LET tour. Annika did not win any LPGA competitions in 2007, which is what the article was about. No-one mentions it much but I think she had emotional problems as well as physical ones last year.

Its good to see her back and I hope she returns to her winning ways. I also agree about the TV coverage (or lack of..). No channel seems to want to air serious womens sports of any kind.
