Sorenstam will rest Hull, bench Ciganda

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – Annika Sorenstam showed the resolve that made her one of the toughest champions who ever played the game at the end of a tough afternoon Friday at the Solheim Cup.

The fight that drove Sorenstam to win more LPGA titles (72) than anyone besides Kathy Whitworth (88) and Mickey Wright (82) was there at day’s end, along with some unexpected but inspiring good humor.

With the Americans sweeping Europe in fourballs, the first American sweep of a session in Solheim Cup history, Sorenstam talked about tearing up her plans and improvising a new plah to bring a hard fight to the Americans on Saturday.
