annika sorenstam wins the stanford international pro-am

Annika Sorenstam became the second multiple winner on the LPGA Tour this season, winning the Stanford International Pro-Am and simultaneously punching her ticket to the season-ending ADT Championship. The 71-time Tour winner outlasted five-time winner Paula Creamer in the first playoff of the season, improving her career playoff record to 16-6. It was the first playoff of Creamer’s four-year LPGA Tour career. “I thought I played very well, and so did Paula. I know it came down to the last, well, it took 19 holes to separate us. It could have gone really any way,” Sorenstam said. “I’m just fortunate that this time it was my turn, and I’m going cherish this moment. Like I said, I felt like I played well the whole week. This is a big tournament on our schedule, and it meant a lot to me to come down the stretch there and hit some really crucial shots and finish strong.”

“It’s incredibly disappointing. You know, I had the lead for quite a while out there, and then I bogeyed and she had a birdie in there. It’s very disappointing,” Creamer said. “But at the same time, I’m going against on of the best players in the world that’s ever to play golf. There’s a lot to learn from that. This is was my first playoff as a professional, and probably the most nervous I’ve ever been.”
