Everyone is anticipating a Lorena Ochoa (pictured)-Annika Sorenstam duel (numbers one and two in the world, respectively) this weekend at the U.S. Women’s Open at Interlachen Country Club in Minnesota, but as Tiger and Phil show us time and time again, rarely do these much-hyped #1-2 scenarios pan out.

Now That's How you Finish!

Annika Sorenstam wasn't going to win yesterday, in what may prove to be her final US Open. She still figured out a way to get the biggest roar of the day at the 72nd hole. Entering Sunday's round at Interlachen Country Club within reach of the championship trophy, she struggled in what could be her last 18 holes ever played in a U.S. Women's Open. The day had been riddled with bogeys, ...Sunday Sports Wrap - June 29, 2008

The biggest event today is the Euro 2008 in Vienna. Will Germany win? Will Spain win? I'm excited to see the result . Today is a rest day at Wimbledon . I caught most of the Nadal vs. Kiefer yesterday and it was definitely worth the watch. Stacy Lewis sits atop the leaderboard at the U.S. Women's Open at nine back.

HELEN ALFREDSSON. NOW THERE’S A BLAST from the LPGA past. Ranked 116th in the world, the 43-year-old Alfredsson is right in the thick of things at the U.S. Women’s Open at Edina, Minnesota. I doubt that she’ll win, but what a story it would be. If you watched the telecast today, you saw Alfredsson twist and turn and crane her neck after striking the ball. It could be a good shot. It could be ...So much for Lorena Ochoa being the women's Tiger Woods, she's done at the U.S. Women's Open
Posted 6/28/2008 on Chris Baldwin
EDINA, Minn. - It’s 12:09 p.m. here on a rain-delayed Saturday at the U.S. Women’s Open and Lorena Ochoa is done as a contender. The No. 1 ranked player in women’s golf - the player with two career major wins who’s been ridiculously compared to Tiger Woods when she hasn’t even earned the right to be compared to Annika Sorenstam yet - just played herself out of ...Is she maturing? At least Michelle Wie shows up to finish her humiliation
Posted 6/28/2008 on Tim McDonald
Remember when Michelle Wie quit at the Ginn Tribute last year when she was in danger of shooting an 88? That would have made her ineligible for LPGA events the rest of the year. What made it worse was the injury she cited was vague and questionable – she was seen practicing not long afterward for the LPGA Championship – and the tournament was hosted by Annika Sorenstam , one of ...Annika Sorenstam shows she's no Phil Mickelson, gives herself a chance at U.S. Women's Open

EDINA, Minn. (June 27, 2008) - Annika Sorenstam sounded a lot like Phil Mickelson at Torrey Pines after she stumbled to a first round 75 in the U.S. Women’s Open. Minus the crazy no-driver decision. Sorenstam talked about sticking to her gameplan, which is the same thing Mickelson spewed before blowing up in the second round of his dream Open. Well, it turns out that the ...Not a bad view at the 10th green

WOULD ANYONE BE TERRIBLY UPSET if Annika Sorenstam won her fourth U.S. Women’s Open? Sorenstam is retiring at the end of the season, and as much as I like Lorena Ochoa -- I think she’s awesome, actually -- I wouldn’t mind another shiny National Open trophy for Annika. The Swedish star has been terrific for women’s golf. Sorenstam has amassed 72 LPGA Tour victories, including 10 majors. She ...Michelle Wie shows where her game's really at with 81 in U.S. Women's Open first round
