And Then There Are 3? II

Hello. Congrats to Annika Sorenstam for winning the LPGA event Sunday. It was Anika's 3rd win of the season, and first with Lorena Ochoa in the field. It was also the 72nd of her career, which is 3rd on the all-time list.
Sorenstam certainly silenced me, winning by 7 shots. She then silenced all of us today by saying it would be her last season. While it's not a shocker (Annika has hinted she'd like to do several other things, including have a family), the timing was surprising, coming two days after a dominant win.
Will Annika stay retired? Well, the player she's compared to most now, Mickey Wright, quit playing full time at 34, then won her last LPGA event (#82, 2nd all time) at 37. Annika is 37 now. I can see her coming back on a limited schedule (children permitting) for a couple more years. Certainly her signature event, the Ginn Open, would probably be one she'd play for several years.
Is this a good move? I think so. So many athletes don't retire when they're at or near the top, then fade so badly their careers aren't remembered fondly. Congrats Annika!

Regards,
Steve
