Meet Annika, The Tim Duncan Of Golf....
Why is it that Anikka Sorenstam can't get any respect? Why is she so overlooked and passed over by journalists and sportswriters?
At the start of this season, she announced she was going to try to win the Grand Slam of women's golf. Not just one tournament, but the 4 major tournaments. Rasheed Wallace guarantees a victory in game 3 of an opening round game and his comments get plastered on the back page of every sportspage. Annika....nothing.
But check these stats out:
She's won the first two legs of the grand slam and is currently near the lead in the third one being played now.
She's entered 8 tournaments this year and won 6.
She's 8 of her last 10.
Out of her 236 career tournaments, she's come in 1st or 2nd in 101.
Most guys would rather watch beer commercials than watch Annika play golf. She's
like Tim Duncan, who just won his third NBA Finals MVP – she's subtly great.
Subtle doesn't sell.

Even if hardly anyone watches it or cares about it. It's still a group of women who are trying their best to win every week. They're devoted 100% of their time to win money on tour and earn a living.
Annika's record is a-mazing considering the competition is all aiming for the same goal.
Bah. Annika rocka! Been a fan for years...
