talent

You know you're pretty good (and your caddy, too) when you can take off 3 weeks from competitive play, skip the practice round, and then show up at a tournament and fire a 7-under, 65 to lead the tournament. That's what Annika Sorenstam did at the Corning yesterday. She hadn't played the course in 9 years, and, for whatever reason, couldn't play a practice round. But she said she just listened to where her caddy told her to hit it -- and, unlike the rest of us mortals, she has the talent and precision to hit it there.
