 at 60. Sorenstam posted all four tournament rounds in the 60s (67-64-67-67) to finish at 23-under-par 265 for a runaway victory that was her eighth in her last 11 outings.

As she has throughout the 12 years of her Hall of Fame career, Sorenstam used and endorsed Callaway Golf(R) equipment, which this week included a prototype 460cc Fusion(R) Driver, a Big Bertha Big Bertha

"Obviously, I'm very happy to finish it up the way I did," said Sorenstam. "I kept my distance and played very solid all day long. I finished the way I started, and to make this my 60th, it's a great Sunday. What else can I tell you? It's wonderful."

Sorenstam's brilliant performance began with 39 bogey-free holes and included 22 birdies and a pair of eagles against only three bogeys for the week. She averaged 290 yards off the tee to lead the field and played the par 5s at 15-under-par. Her 10-shot margin of victory is topped only by the 11-stroke win she recorded at the 2002 Kellogg-Keebler Classic.

After an opening round 67, Sorenstam took control with a 64 in the second round to build a six-shot lead. Her third-round 67 increased her lead to 10, matching the largest 54-hole lead of her career. Sorenstam never let up, birdieing the final hole Sunday and becoming the Chick-fil-A's first repeat winner. She has won 17 LPGA tournaments at least twice.
