Gunilla at Cherry Hills Country Club
Hey,
I just arrived to the media centre at the Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, where the US Open is being held.
I’m here to cover Annika, of course. Or Annika Sörenstam, as we think of her in Sweden. I think she is an even bigger name in the US than in Sweden.
2005 U.S. Women’s Open
If you have followed the game, you know that Annika – who is here to take her third Grand Slam-title – was only number 22 after two days. But there are two more days… She just started, and I will try to go out in the field and see if I can find her. And the other Swedes – there are so many of them here. You wouldn’t think Sweden is an arctic country with a very short golf season. Well, of course that’s the reason the players move to Arizona and Florida.
Since this is the first time I am covering a golf event, and the second time I am covering a sports event at all, I am pretty clueless. I’m here for The Annika Story and will have to avoid all golf terms carefully in my texts. Luckily, Aftonbladet’s golf reporter Thomas Tynander has promised to be my guide into this mysterious world, so stay tuned!
