Sorenstam turns LPGA into her personal playground

STOCKBRIDGE - I some respects, Annika Sorenstam is no Tiger Woods. Hey, she doesn&#39;t even have a career grand slam yet. <br> <br> Then again, Woods never shot 59. And, even with another Masters victory, he hasn&#39;t dominated his tour the way Sorenstam is ruling the LPGA this year. <br> <br> The Swedish sensation has won twice, finished second twice and relishes the comparisons to Woods. <br> <br> She says, ``I don&#39;t mind. I just wish they&#39;d call him the Annika Sorenstam of the PGA Tour sometimes, too.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The 31-year-old Sorenstam returns to the course after a three-week layoff, ready to defend her title at the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship and maintain a stranglehold of the women&#39;s tour. <br> <br> She says she&#39;s focusing on this week&#39;s tournament at Eagles Landing Country Club in suburban Atlanta. <br> <br> That doesn&#39;t bode well for the rest of the field. Much like Woods, Sorenstam is the favorite every time she tees it up. <br> <br> Sorenstam has won $563,000, nearly twice as much as the next player on the list. She leads the tour in scoring average (69.0), having broken par in 16 of 18 rounds.
