[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…‘Former golf queen’ Annika Sorenstam (Sweden, photo) will participate in the US Women's Open for the first time in 14 years.

The United States Golf Association (USGA) announced on the 18th (Korean time) that "Sorenstam has completed the application process to participate in the US Women's Open." Since retiring in 2008, she has not competed in any majors, including the US Women's Open, for 13 years. In February last year, Sorenstam returned to the LPGA Tour at the Gainbridge LPGA after 13 years and advanced to the main event, demonstrating her competitiveness. In August, she secured a ticket to the US Women's Open by winning the US Senior Women's Open.

This year's US Women's Open will be held over four days starting June 3 at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in Southern Pines, North Carolina, USA. Sorenstam is a player who has won a total of 72 LPGA Tour titles, including 10 majors. She has won the US Women's Open three times, and Pine Needles Golf Club is where she claimed her second US Women's Open victory in 1996. She expressed her feelings, saying, "I am excited to participate again in the US Women's Open held at the special Pine Needles Golf Club for me."
