Annika Sorenstam: Lpga Tour
built 273 days ago
Annika Sorenstam is one of the greatest female golfers ever - many would say she's the best ever. Combining a cool efficiency with a passionate desire to win, Sorenstam was among the best players on Tour from her debut in the mid-90s through the remainder of the decade. But as the century turned, Sorenstam went on a run of success that rivals or surpasses anything else ever seen on the LPGA Tour.

At the 2002 Nabisco Championship at the Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, Annika Sorenstam definitely stood out among the tournament’s field of competitors. While the red shoes she wore for the final round of play received plenty of attention, Annika ... made a strong statement with her golf game, winning this LPGA major for the second consecutive year. By playing consistently and sinking clutch putts, Annika recorded a score of 8-under 280 for the tournament and defeated fellow Swede Liselotte Neumann by one stroke. The win marked the fourth major championship and 33rd overall tournament win of Annika’s career. Upper Deck commemorates Annika’s victory at the 2002 Nabisco Championship with this attractive Major Moments keepsake. The framed and double-matted item, which measures 17'' wide x 19'' high overall, is highlighted by an 8'' x 10'' photo of Annika at the tournament along with a replica scorecard and a description of Annika’s achievement.

LPGA superstar Annika Sorenstam is only the sixth woman in history to reach the magical ''50 Wins'' plateau on the LPGA Tour. At the 2001 Standard Register Ping golf tournament, Sorenstam did what no other LPGA player had ever done before. She set an LPGA record for the lowest score in a round by shooting an amazing 59 in the second round of the tournament. Upper Deck recalls this outstanding achievement with this autographed ''Callaway 59'' Golf Ball. The item is authenticated by UDA.

To nobody’s surprise, Annika Sorenstam debuted as the No. 1-ranked player — a position she held for the first 14 months the list was in place. On April 23, 2007, though, Sorenstam was finally knocked from her perch. In the midst of what would be an 8-win season on the LPGA, Lorena Ochoa became the second player to hold the top spot in the Rolex Rankings.
