U.S. Women’s Open: Annika Sorenstam opens with 74 in first LPGA major start in 14 years

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. – In what likely feels like another life, Annika Sorenstam would’ve found another gear. Maybe two gears.

But now, 14 years removed her last LPGA major, the mother of two and full-time businesswoman is out of gears. She has learned to roll with what she has, and  in the opening round of the 77th U.S. Women’s Open, her best of the day resulted in a 3-over 74. She’ll have her work cut out Friday to make the cut in her first LPGA major since 2008.

“I don’t get as mad as I used to,” she said. “I kind of bounce it off. By the end of the day, the kids want to do something, I probably have to cook dinner, just all those things that I enjoy doing off the golf course. I can’t get upset anymore.”
