Golf: Birdie blitz for Sorenstam

Annika Sorenstam birdied four of the last seven holes to win the LPGA Championship in Wilmington, Delaware, yesterday, capturing her seventh major golf title after squandering most of a six-stroke lead.

In the third round, Sorenstam fired a bogey-free, seven-under 64 to seize a six-stroke lead, then struggled to a one-over 72 to finish on 13-under 271, three strokes ahead of runner-up Ahn Shi Hyun, of South Korea.
