PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Retirement is a calloused editor. It doesn't care for others’ visions, marking and abusing and shredding scripts.
Retirement takes one’s story and writes, 52-year-old finishes with double bogey in final U.S. Open. It writes, former prodigy leaves promise unfulfilled.
It doesn’t see the life within words.
Annika Sorenstam and Michelle Wie West said goodbye Friday at Pebble Beach, both to the championship that helped define them as professionals.
For Sorenstam, the evening marked her final appearance in the U.S. Women’s Open, a major she won three times.
