Annika Sörenstam mot 54 slag?
Hun drømmer stadig om
denne scoren på en runde.
Det er 5 slag bedre enn
rekordrunden fra i
fjor.
Annika ble inspirert av
Karrie Webb og har trent
hardere og mer dedikert
enn noen gang. Det blir
ikke lett for Suzann å ta
igjen det store
forspranget opp til
Annika, men gapet kan
tettes igjen fortere enn
vi kan forestille
oss.

SORENSTAM
SETS SIGHTS ON 54
World number one Annika
Sorenstam began her 2002
season with the attitude
that there is plenty of
room for improvement in
her game.
The 31-year-old Arizona
based Swede was asked in
her press conference
preceding the ANZ Ladies
Masters whether it was
possible to improve on
last season.
"I think so,"
replied Sorenstam who won
eight times, became the
first woman to pass $2
million in earnings for a
season, had 20 top-20
finishes and became the
first woman to break 60
when she carded her 59 at
the Standard Register PING
last year.
"I'm shooting for a
better year, I want to be
a better player and that's
what I am focussing on. I
believe you can hit 18
fairways, 18 greens and
make every putt, so there
is room for improvement
there already," she
grinned.
If she did happen to one
putt each green, assuming
of course she played the
par fives as three shot
holes, she would end up
breaking her record by a
massive five shots and
achieve the dream of
former Solheim Cup captain
Pia Nilsson who is one of
the biggest advocates of
the realistic possibility
of shooting 54.
Sorenstam set out to
regain her World number
one title last year and
stepped up her work ethic
with a gruelling bout of
fitness training and spent
many hours in the gym,
often punishing her
abdominal muscles through
1000 sit ups a day.
This year, her four weekly
trips to the gym have
increased to "five or
six times" with her
new German born trainer.
Her golf practice also
increased, leaving little
time in the day for much
else.
"Last year, I wanted
to be the best player in
the World," added the
four time Solheim Cup
player, admitting that
Webb's success the
previous year had
motivated her.
"I wanted to be
number one in the world
again and that's what
pushed me the most because
I wasn't
satisfied...Karrie's
success motivated me.
"Seeing how good a
player she is made me want
to work harder so I could
beat her
and that made me want to
practice. I love what I
do, so it wasn't really
too much of a sacrifice,
but it does take a lot of
work, time, dedication and
there needs to be a will
too."
After last year's
incredible year, it would
be fickle to suggest that
a 54 is not possible - if
Sorenstam believes in it
enough, it may well happen.
Hvis man åpner opp oppe i
hjernen og slår massevis
av gode slag og har litt
flaks/dyktighet i
pøttingen, er det mulig
å gå på 54 slag. Dagens
gode utstyr vil i sterk
grad kunne bidra til å
fremskaffe den stabilitet
som kreves for å klare
dette kunststykket.
