SHORT AND SWEDE: Anna Nordqvist shot 7-under 65 Monday for a two-stroke triumph at the LPGA Tour Championship. The tournament was plagued with rain delays, but eventually finished a day late and 18 holes short. Nordqvist, who also won the McDonald's LPGA, had six birdies in a seven-hole stretch Monday to lead her to victory
All things considered, it wasn't a half-bad ending for the LPGA. Despite the weather woes and tournament reduction, they still had a decent final round, which included a nail-biter for Player of the Year [more on that later]. Nordqvist actually should have won more than just this tournament; she should have won Rookie of the Year honors. But thanks to a quirky system, that trophy went to Jiyai Shin.

“Anyone surprised at Nike president's statement? Personally I think one's morals do count and Nike has long been a company to promote the lack of morals and honor = "Just do it!" Before Pepsi beat them out, Nike was the number one financial corporate supporter of homosexual marriage. (Pepsi now ccontributes over $500,000 a year to support the homosexual agenda. Living a homosexual lifestyle is an individual matter; however, I do not believe their overall agenda should be forced on the rest of society.) Frankly I would suggest all the golfers who sport the Nike swoosh should rethink that and find a sponsor who does promote both good morals and honor -- both of which make a true sportsman.”
