Ginn Resorts sponsored golfer Annika Sorenstam pocketed her second victory of the 2008 season and her 71st win on the LPGA Tour at the Stanford International Pro-Am this weekend. Defeating Paula Creamer in the first hole of a playoff, Sorenstam’s win at the Stanford International Pro-Am in Aventura, Fla. earned her the $300,000 first-place check and the momentum for a comeback from a winless 2007 season following a neck and back injury.
Sorenstam, in her 22nd playoff, rallied from a one-shot deficit to defeat Creamer who was a first-time playoff participant. Creamer closed with a 69, and Sorenstam shot a 70. Cristie Kerr, another Ginn Resorts sponsored golfer, tied for sixth.
