SPORTSWOMAN OF THE YEAR Just like her putts, honors rolling in for Annika Sorenstam

NEW YORK (AP) -- The accolades, like her putts, just keep rolling in for Annika Sorenstam.
Sorenstam, a six-time winner on the LPGA Tour this season, was named Sportswoman of the Year by the Women's Sports Foundation Monday at the Waldorf Astoria.
She joined Olympic beach volleyball gold medalists Misty May and Kerri Walsh, who were honored in the team category.
The Women's Sports Foundation, founded by Billie Jean King, is marking its 30th anniversary. The awards dinner raises more than $1 million annually for education and grant programs for girls and women in sports.
Forty Athens Olympians met with President Bush at the White House before attending the dinner.
"It's a celebration," King said. "It's about reflection, thinking about our progress and also our spirit."
Storied career
Sorenstam, who qualified for the LPGA Hall of Fame last year, has won seven major championships and the career Grand Slam. She's the only woman to shoot 59.
In 2003, Sorenstam became the first woman in 58 years to compete on the PGA Tour at the Colonial.
Sorenstam won six tournaments and more than $2 million in 2003, becoming only the fourth player in LPGA history to post more than five wins in four consecutive seasons.
May and Walsh won gold in Athens without losing a set in seven matches. On match point against Brazil, Walsh hammered a spike and fell to her knees. May ran to embrace her and both fell backward, hugging in the sand.
"She doesn't fall that easy, so you kind of have to take her down from the top and drop her," May said. "We were just so excited to be the first U.S. team to win a gold medal."
Later, May sprinkled the ashes of her mother, Barbara May, on the Olympic court.
"It made it complete because she was in Sydney," May said. "Kerri had her whole family there and I needed my whole family there. Now she's left over in Athens, whether she likes it or not."
Unprecedented streak
May and Walsh had an unprecedented 90-match, 15-tournament winning streak that ended two months before the Olympics. The top-ranked U.S. duo finished 108-8 over two years.
They wrapped up the beach volleyball season with a win in Santa Barbara, Calif., on Sunday. May plans to marry Florida Marlins catcher Matt Treanor next month, and she's undecided about defending the Olympic title in 2008.
Tennis player Maria Bueno, Olympic swimmer Nancy Hogshead-Makar and Texas women's track coach Beverly Kearney were inducted into the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame.
In singles, Bueno was a four-time U.S. title winner at Forest Hills and three-time Wimbledon champion in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Her 20-year career included 19 Grand Slam titles in singles, doubles and mixed doubles.
Hogshead-Makar won gold in the 100-meter freestyle and two relays in the 1984 Olympics.
Kearney, a seven-time national coach of the year, has guided Texas to four NCAA championships in 12 seasons.
Julie Krone, the winningest female jockey with 3,704 career wins, received the Wilma Rudolph Courage Award. She is the only woman to win a Triple Crown race and a Breeders' Cup event.
Olympic and world champion figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi won the Flo Hyman Memorial Award.
