Sorenstam finished 29 shots behind Korda, who won by three over Lexi Thompson and Lydia Ko. Korda made sure of that with a steady diet of pars and picking up enough birdies when she needed them.

Nelly Korda leads LPGA as Sorenstam falls to bottom of pack

Sorenstam, playing for the first time in more than 12 years after retiring, had no expectations and no excuses. That put her in last place by four shots, 22 shots behind Korda. โ€œAny time you can get ahead of the pack going into Sunday is a positive,โ€ Korda said. Not going to lie, coming down the stretch, those putts were a little shaky.โ€But she made them, and she's in great position going for her first LPGA Tour victory. โ€œNormally, I hit the ball straight, and today was everything but straight,โ€ Sorenstam said.

Sorenstam waiting to see if rules mistake costs her the cut

Sorenstam, making a one-time appearance because the LPGA Tour is at her home course, finally got some putts to drop and ran off three birdies on her second nine. The penalty could not be rescinded because Sorenstam played from a different spot. I could have opened the gate and I couldโ€™ve played,โ€ Sorenstam said. But for someone out of competition for nearly as long as her career on the LPGA Tour, she still has ample game. 1 in the world who won her first LPGA Tour event at 15.

Sorenstam returns with a lot more stress and fewer birdies

Annika Sorenstam chips a shot to the ninth green during the first round of the Gainbridge LPGA golf tournament Thursday, Feb. 25, 2021, in Orlando, Fla. (AP Photo/John Raoux)ORLANDO, Fla. โ€“ Annika Sorenstam doesn't remember golf being this difficult. With one birdie and one bad hole, Sorenstam had a 3-over 75 in the LPGA Gainbridge on her home course at Lake Nona. Sorenstam was 10 shots behind another Lake Nona member, Lydia Ko, who opened with a 7-under 65 for a two-shot lead. But then, this week isn't about Sorenstam adding to her 72 career victories or even starting a comeback at age 50. After a penalty drop, she hit it back toward the fairway to about 70 yards, hit an ordinary wedge and three-putted from about 18 feet for a triple bogey.

Annika is back on LPGA Tour, just not for very long

Annika is back on LPGA Tour, just not for very long

Diamond Resorts supports her foundation, so she played in the celebrity division of the LPGA Tour season opener last month. AdAnd then the Gainbridge LPGA moved from South Florida to Lake Nona, and Sorenstam already was contemplating a return to competition at the U.S. Senior Women's Open. The members at Lake Nona mostly see her at pickleball or in the clubhouse for Easter brunch or a Thanksgiving feast. Lake Nona, home to several PGA and LPGA players, hosted the Solheim Cup in 1990 and previously had the Tavistock Cup, matches between tour members from Lake Nona and Isleworth. โ€œIf it wasn't Lake Nona, I wouldn't be here,โ€ she said.

The surprise decision was still fresh three weeks later when 19-year-old Yani Tseng won her first major. Sorenstam turned 50 in October and has not competed on the LPGA Tour since the final event of 2008. She also played the LPGA Tour season opener last month, although Sorenstam was part of the celebrity division. When she won the Kia Classic in March 2012 for her 15th LPGA Tour title, she was four points short of the LPGA Hall of Fame. Tseng played five times over the second half of 2020 on the Taiwan LPGA, missing one cut and failing to finish in the top 25.

Annika Invitational returns to WGV this weekend

Annika Invitational returns to WGV this weekend

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. โ€“ Annika Sorenstam has been retired from golf since 2008, but sheโ€™s never been too far from the game. Twelve years ago, Sorenstamโ€™s foundation started the Annika Invitational and that event returns to the First Coast this weekend at the Slammer & Squire. The event for girls between 12 and 19 years old is a big one for junior golfers. At stake in the 54-hole tournament are points for the Rolex AJGA Rankings and the World Amateur Golf Rankings. Bigger than the points, Sorenstam said, is seeing some of the same faces in the area time and again and knowing that the experiences of the event are helping younger women.
