One of my good buddies holds several course records here in GA.

Can drive the ball 330. Can place it w/in 5 feet of the pin from 125 yards almost everytime. Can make 25 foot putts consistently. Can get up and down from the bunker like it's nobody's business. But, he cannot handle the pressure. Hacked around on some of the mini-tours for a few years and gave it up. He managed to qualify for the US Open, but he didn't make the cut.

What seperates him from the true pro's is all mental.

[You Dirty Rats]

You are exactly correct! The mental aspect of golf is so important.

That's why it is entirely possible that someone like Annika CAN compete! She obviously has a champion's heart and that is worth a lot more than the greater upper body strength.

... but it still may not be enough. We'll just have to wait and see!
