LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR

ANNIKA WINS HER OWN TOURNAMENT


Swedish superstar Annika Sorenstam birdied the last hole to pip Mexico's Lorena Ochoa for the Scandinavian TPC title and the 75,000 Euros first prize. Annika is the patron of the tournament which she also won last year.
Annika had rounds of 66, 71, 69 and 65 for 21-under-par 271, one shot ahead of the Mexican player who scored 72, 65, 69 and 66 to win 50,750 Euros.
Annika's final round of 65 equalled the course record set by Ochoa on the second day.
Catriona Matthew and Laura Davies finished joint fifth on 10-under-par 282.
Catriona scored 74, 70, 67 and 71 to Laura's 70, 75, 66 and 71. Each earned 19,350 Euros.
Clare Queen's learning curve in her rookie season continues. She finished joint 23rd on 291 with scores of 77, 71, 72 and 71 to earn 5,850 Euros.
