Sorenstam wins again

Golfer claims record 11th victory at season-ending ADT

? Dominant to the very end, Annika Sorenstam finished off the best LPGA Tour season in 38 years with a 4-under 68 on Sunday to win the season-ending ADT Championship, her 11th victory of the year.

Sorenstam lightly pumped her first several times when the final putt of another record-breaking year fell in for par.

Victory was secured a few moments later when Rachel Teske, the only player to challenge on the back nine, had a double bogey on the 17th. She hit her next tee shot in the water and salvaged par for a 72.

Sorenstam finished at 13-under 275 for a three-stroke victory and earned $215,000, making her the first woman to go over $11 million in career earnings.

She ended the season with a 68.70 scoring average, shattering the record she set last year (69.42).

“I’m at a loss for words,” Sorenstam said. “I gave it all I had.”

Mickey Wright in 1964 was the last player to win 11 times in one season. Wright, widely regarded as the best female golfer ever, set the record of 13 victories in 1963.

“I figured I came here to win,” Sorenstam said.
