Now For Some Encouraging LPGA Tour News

Interpretations of Anna Nordqvist
Anna Nordqvist won her first LPGA Tour event in her rookie season and made it a major by winning the LPGA Championship yesterday by four shots over Australian Lindsey Wright. Nordqvist won the tournament in her fifth career start. I mean, that's not even really a career yet. She is the complete...
