Annika Out

We now know the cause of Annika's poor results this season: Her back.

This is no normal back injury either. I'm no expert, but herniated AND ruptured are not words you want to hear when dealing with a back injury. In all seriousness, if this injury keeps her out for any length of time, I would not be surprised if we've seen the end of really high caliber golf from Ms. Sorenstam. It's not that she's incapable of returning to form, but one wonders, especially with all the young players on the LPGA tour and her outside business interests, if Annika has the desire to push through a serious injury.
