Is Annika Back? Looks Like It

Hello. Congrats to Annika Sorenstam for winning Sunday. Annika beat Paula Creamer in a playoff.
This was Annika's second win of the year, after going winless in 2007. She now has 71 for her career.
So, the question is, is Annika back? I'd say yes, she's now got a firm hold on the #2 spot in the world. And while no one may be able to catch #1, Lorena Ochoa, Annika may be able to now do what seemed to be a lock two years ago - beat Kathy Whitworth's career win total of 88.
How will Annika be able to do it if she's not #1? Do what I've said for years all pros should be doing - choosing their tournaments wisely. In Annika's case, it means playing when Lorena is away, like she has for these two wins.
If you think this is a "lame" strategy, you may be right. But consider boxing. The champs pick their fights. They will only fight an opponent they think they can win, or if the money is right. Otherwise they stall fighting against the #1 challenger as long as possible.
If Annika repeats this strategy, she may end up #1 for her career. Good luck!

Regards,
Steve
