Sorensutam 'This Time, US Senior Women's Open Entry~'

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…‘Former Golf Queen’ Annika Sorenstam (Sweden, photo) will participate in this year’s US Senior Women’s Open.

The Golf Channel reported on the 13th (Korean time) that "Sorenstam has completed her entry for the US Senior Women’s Open, which will be held for four days starting July 29 at Brooklawn Golf Club in Fairfield, Connecticut." This marks her return to a USGA-sanctioned event after 13 years since she tied for 24th place at the 2008 US Women’s Open. She expressed her feelings, saying, "I am happy to compete again with world-class players on a great course."

Sorenstam is a player who ranks third all-time with 72 wins on the LPGA Tour. She has earned eight Player of the Year awards, led the scoring average six times, and was the money leader eight times. She won 10 major championships and was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. When the world rankings were established in 2006, she became the inaugural No. 1 and held the top spot for 1 year and 2 months until April 2007. Last year, she was elected president of the International Golf Federation (IGF).

In February, Sorenstam appeared at the Diamond Resorts Tournament as a celebrity rather than a player, and in March, she showed her resilience by making it to the final stage of the Gainbridge LPGA. Next month, she will also participate in the European Ladies Professional Golf Tour (LET) Scandinavian Mixed held in Sweden. This is a mixed event co-hosted by Sorenstam and Henrik Stenson (Sweden). A total of 156 players, 78 men and 78 women, will compete on the same golf course.
