She would not be #125 on the money list. She has yet to show that she can make a cut. Making the cut here is worth $8,000, minus expenses. And this is her best chance to make a cut. In thirty 40 events I give her the generous assumption of 10 cuts made. $80,000, minus expenses for 40 events (roughly $50,000 minimum) is not very attractive for such a high-stress occupation.

We went over this issue last week, and I think you and I were in general agreement on most things (I'm coming around to your way of thinking on Ani's short game BTW).

Sorenstam has only won TWO of the last 25 LPGA Major Tournaments. Karrie Webb has won 6, and Si Re Pak and Juli Inskter have won 4 each.

You'll be happy to know another craphole tour stop ... the BC Open (Played in Endicott NY the same weekend the big boys are playing the British Open) offered Annika a sponsor's exemption as well.

There's a difference between enjoying Annika's performance and declarations that she could beat "a lot of the PGA touring pros" on any kind of regular basis. The latter is absurd beyond discussion, and I share your offense at those who slam the creme de la creme of the sport - the PGA touring pros - to give Annika some props.

She can't win LPGA majors.
