Wilmington, Delaware, June 03: Annika Sorenstam, back where she belongs on the LPGA tour following her brief flirtation with the men a fortnight ago, is in prime form for this week's Mcdonald's LPGA championship. The 32-year-old Swede, who missed the cut playing with the men at the PGA's Colonial last month, coasted to victory in the Kellogg-Keebler Classic on Sunday and will be the player to beat when the second women's major of the year begins on Thursday. Sorenstam, the first female player to compete in a PGA tour event since Babe Zaharias at the 1945 Los Angeles Open, ired a closing 71 to finish three strokes clear of the field and clinch her second LPGA tour title of the year. ''I was very steady,'' said the Swede, who will be chasing her fourth career major this week. ''It feels good to come back to the PGA tour and play so well.” ''I'm very, very pleased. It's been a great week, and to come back and perform the way I did was pretty incredible with everything going on the week before. ''I got off to such a good start here and I played so solid. I feel great and to play like this coming into a major as well, the timing seems very good to me. ''The confidence is high and I feel like I'm hitting the ball well. I don't think I could have asked for better preparation for the Mcdonald's championship.'' After bogeying the last two holes, Sorenstam completed the three rounds at 17-under 199, successfully defending her Kellogg-Keebler classic title and returning to the top of the money list with earnings of 734,501. More than 22,000 people watched her play the final round and there were repeated cries of ''We love you, Annika'' as she pulled away early on from playing partner Mhairi Mckay of Britain. ''I really wanted to push Annika,'' said Mckay, who also finished second to the Swede last year. ''The start wasn't really what I wanted. But I'm proud of myself for hanging in there and finishing strong.'' Sorenstam failed by two shots to match the tour record in relation to par she set at last year's inaugural event with an aggregate of 21-under 195. But the Swede is happy to be back where she belongs -- on the LPGA tour. ''I'm very thankful and honoured to have been there (playing in a men's tour event) but I know where I belong,'' she said. ''I want to win tournaments and I want to set records.'' Following her comfortable triumph in the Kellogg-Keebler classic, there is every chance the Swede will produce more of the same at this week's women's major. Bureau Report
