Annika Sorenstam, the world’s number one golfer
By the very nature of top level sport, there are exuberant highs and depressing lows to be enjoyed or endured during the course of a competitor’s career. While it is easy to be gracious in victory, how a player confronts dejection and defeat speaks volumes for the individual’s character.
Annika Sorenstam, the world’s number one golfer, knows more about winning than anybody else on the LPGA tour.
She’s experienced the joys of success on no less than 69 occasions since joining the Tour 12 years ago.
