Annika Sorenstam is Pregnant

Annika Sorenstam is pregnant.  Here's the quick hit from the AP:

Sorenstam announced on her blog Thursday that she and her husband, Mike McGee, are expecting their first child this fall.

"We have had a lot of exciting changes in the past few months, and adding a new addition to our family later this fall will certainly be at the top of that list," Sorenstam said. "We are absolutely thrilled and look forward to this new chapter of our lives."

Go back nine months from the fall and Annika got pregnant somewhere around the new year.

I wondered in late May last year, when Annika announced her retirement, if she was pregnant then because of these comments from Tiger Woods at the AT&T National.

Q. What was your reaction when you heard Annika, that she would retire at the end of the season? And have you spoken with her since then? And, if so, what have you spoken about?

TIGER WOODS: I knew that was going to happen. She's done it all. She's been through it all. For men and women, it is two totally different things. Who knows, she might come back or not. I doubt it. I don't see Annika ever doing anything half-ass. The time she is going to spend with her child and her family, I don't ever see her ever wanting to come back to the game of golf in that capacity. What it takes to do that, I don't foresee her doing it. We talked quite a bit after that.

I just -- I'm very happy for her. She sounds happy, very at peace with what she's done and what she's said.

I was about seven months wrong.

Well, this news is the final nail in the coffin...

…for my pie-in-the-sky “I’m going to marry Annika Sorenstam” fantasy. :)

Sigh. Congratulations to Annika and her husband.
