When Sorenstam knocked her pitching wedge to eight feet -- virtually over the spot Meunier-Lebouc's ball once occupied -- and made the birdie putt, it was added proof she was playing a game with which the rest of the LPGA was not familiar.
It was proof once again she had the Wright stuff -- as in Mickey Wright, the only LPGA player who has won more tournaments in a season than Sorenstam, who picked up No. 11 of 2002 with a three-stroke victory over Rachel Teske at 13-under-par 275.
And when Sorenstam says she feels she tied Wright's all-time mark of 13 victories in a season, set in 1963, because she won non-LPGA events in Australia and Sweden this year, it has the ring of truth.

My friend Tod Leonard, a San Diego Union Tribune golf writer, wasn’t around when Mickey Wright played, so he isn’t qualified to judge how good she was, or if Annika Sorenstam is better.
Maybe, but Wright’s low-round record score of 62 stood for 34 years, and her four LPGA Championships and four U.S. Women’s Open titles is testament to her prowess.
A match between Wright and Sorenstam, each at their peak, would be something, like Bobby Jones vs. Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan vs. Tom Watson, Byron Nelson vs. Billy Casper, Harry Vardon vs. Jack Nicklaus or Sam Snead vs. Walter Hagen.
