When Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa battled it out here, Ochoa won. Twice in a row.
Back in real life, the two top female golfers went at it in Ixtapa, Mexico on Saturday, where Annika took 11 skins to Lorena’s 7, making it the 3rd year in a row she defeated the now top-ranked female golfer.

Since this isn’t an LPGA event, might Annika continue to play it after she retires at the end of this year? That’s something I might submit to the Q&A section of her blog, where she also wrote about this weekend’s event.
Lorena vs. Men?
Before the skins game, Lorena mentioned that she would consider playing against men in the future. She is growing more and more dominant on the LPGA Tour, but she still can’t take down Queen Annika one-on-one. Do you think she should compete against the men either in a Tour event, a skins match or some other exhibition? Here’s a quick poll to have your say, and as always, you’re welcome to share additional thoughts in the comments.

Why not ? Invite her to the Skins Game or some silly season event where they will have fun. No reason to invite her to a regular PGA Tour event for Thursday and Friday. That circus has been done and doesn’t need to be brought back. If she wants to play seriously with the men, let her earn a spot.

If she can’t beat annika then I doubt she can play with the men.
