WOMEN'S BRITISH Annika seeking second Open win

The LPGA star is trying to win all four majors twice in a row this week.
SUNNINGDALE, England (AP) -- Meg Mallon believes Annika Sorenstam has a bigger hold over women's golf than Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods ever had on the men's game.
"The longevity of this incredible streak. I don't think any golfer's done this in history at the level she's played," Mallon, the U.S. Women's Open champion, said Wednesday on the eve of the Women's British Open.
"You have seen Tiger (Woods) through four years or Karrie (Webb) through three. But six years?
"Even in the Jack Nicklaus era he finished out of the top 20 quite a bit. This is incredible what she's doing. Because it's looking so easy to everyone they're not appreciating how great it is. And that's what's so amazing, that she makes it look so easy. We all know how hard it is."
Won last year
Sorenstam won the Women's British Open last year at Royal Lytham and St. Annes. She successfully defended her LPGA Championship title in June for her seventh major victory and has four LPGA Tour victories this year to push her career total to 52.
The Swedish star has a chance this week to win all four major championships twice in a row, a feat accomplished only by Mickey Wright (1958-59 U.S. Open, '60-61 LPGA Championship, '61-62 Titleholders and '62-63 Western Open). Sorenstam also won the U.S. Open in 1995-96 and the Nabisco Championship in 2001-02.
"That would be big, really big," Sorenstam said. "I'm trying not to think about it. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself but, obviously I'm aware of what a win here would mean. To win it last year meant a lot. I have tried so many times to do well here. I had been second here three times (before it became a major).
"It would mean a lot to win here. I don't want to be too ahead of myself. I just want to go out there and play."
Sorenstam doesn't have happy memories of her last visit to the 6,392-yard, par-72 Old Course at Sunningdale. She tied for 32nd in 2001, 10 shots behind winner Se Ri Pak.
"I did not play well last time and I want to improve on that and see what happens," she said. "I feel like I'm playing better this year than last time we were here."
Upset last week
She's coming off a stunning loss to Australia's Wendy Doolan on Sunday in France in the Evian Masters. The Australian made up six shots in 12 holes to win by a stroke.
"Oh, I'm over it," Sorenstam said. "I got outplayed by her. She had a wonderful stretch in there in which she eagled and birdied and eagled and there's not much I can do there."
