		She became the first LPGA rookie to win two majors championships in one season - the 1984 Nabisco Dinah Shore Classic and the du Maurier Classic.
		In 1999, the change in the LPGA Hall of Fame requirements, which put her only seven points shy of qualifying, gave a jolt to her game.
		After achieving that lifelong goal, three weeks later, she won the LPGA Championship to become only the fourth woman to win the career Grand Slam.

		The McDonald's LPGA Championship, which starts Thursday, is the second stop on what Sorenstam hopes will make her the first person to win the professional Grand Slam in one calendar year.
		Wie has gotten her fill of sponsor's exemptions on the LPGA Tour _ even two on the PGA Tour this year _ but the LPGA Championship has always been for pros, not for someone who just finished the 10th grade.

		But Davies, who was at 7-under-137 after the second round of the McDonald's LPGA Championship on Friday, knew that she would be chasing Sorenstam over the final two rounds, saying with a laugh that she expected Sorenstam to be at 10-under by the time she was done playing.
		Sorenstam extended her LPGA record by shooting her 13th straight round in the 60s, never wavering on a Bulle Rock Golf Course that played more difficult because of the breezes and the trickier pin placements.
		No one is playing better than Sorenstam, who has won five of the seven tournaments she has entered this season and is looking for her third straight LPGA Championship.

		Ward has only one top 10 in a major, a tie for fourth in the LPGA two years ago.
		A victory Sunday would be her sixth major, as many as any other active player on the LPGA Tour.

		Rosales, who picked up her first LPGA victory last month in Atlanta, took advantage of the par 5s and never came seriously close to bogey at difficult DuPont Country Club to take a one-shot lead over Karen Stupples, Gloria Park and Chiharu Yamaguchi.
		Park, who lost to Sorenstam in a playoff last year at the LPGA Championship, also liked her position - just not the way she finished.
		Se Ri Pak, a two-time winner of the LPGA, and Cristie Kerr were in a large group at 69.

		The sweetest part was that it was the second round at the McDonald's LPGA Championship, and those three shots that covered the flag and stopped just a tap-in away for birdie allowed her to seize control in the second leg of the Grand Slam.
		Sorenstam also was the 36-hole leader the last two years in the LPGA Championship, when it was played at DuPont Country Club.
		Davies is winless on the LPGA Tour the last four years, attributing that to poor putting and not giving herself enough chances.

		The second leg of the Grand Slam might be easier than the first one for Annika Sorenstam, who blew away the field Saturday in the LPGA Championship with her 14th consecutive round in the 60s to take a five-shot lead into the final round.
		Sorenstam built a five-shot lead at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in late March, then cruised to an eight-shot victory in the first major championship of the year.
		Laura Davies self-destructed on two short putts, squandered her hopes with one tee shot and ended with a sloppy double bogey for a 2-over 74 that left her seven shots behind, and likely ending her shot at the Hall of Fame.
