Abuzz about Annika

I knew there would be some media interest in the Annika Sorenstam playing in the PGA. But who would have thought there would be the feeding frenzy that is going on? To critics of Annika, my take is: let her play and sit down and stop acting like it is the end of the world as we know it and take a chill pill.

There is no getting around the fact that Annika is fiercely competitive and so she wants to see how she would do and if along the way her PR stock goes up more power to her. Now if she goes out there and shoots in the high 80s for two rounds then she will take a big PR hit. But you got to give her credit for going out there and taking that risk.

She will of course say that all she wants to do is play her best. But I would love to be a fly on the wall when she actually puts some numbers on the table of what she wants do out on the course. Is making the cut after 36 holes her goal? Or does she have a specific score she would like to get like say score within 6 strokes of par?
