GLADSTONE (New Jersey): Annika Sorenstam survived a scare in the second round of the HSBC Women’s World Match Play Championship on Friday, sinking a 30-foot birdie on the 21st hole to beat 32nd-seeded Tina Barrett.
Coming off a tie for 23rd-place last week in the US Women’s Open, Sorenstam overcame three two-hole deficits before taking her first lead with a conceded par on the par-three 17th. The Swede needed only to halve the par-four 18th to win, but bogeyed the hole – missing an eight-foot par try – to send the match back to number one.
