SORENSTAM WINS EIGTH EIGHTH '05' TITLE

Callaway Golf Staff Professional Annika Sorenstam continued her domination of women's golf with a runaway eight-shot victory at the Samsung World Championship yesterday at Bighorn Golf Club in Palm Desert, California.

Sorenstam posted a 3-under-par 69 to finish at 18-under-par 270 for her eighth win of 2005 and the 64th of her Hall of Fame career.

Sorenstam, 35, again used a full array of Callaway Golf equipment, including the Big Bertha(R) Fusion(R) FT-3(TM) Driver, X-18(R) Irons, a Big Bertha Strong 4-wood and 7-wood, the HX(R) Tour Golf Ball and Odyssey(R) White Hot(R) 2-Ball Blade Putter. She also wore Callaway Golf Footwear with the patented Big Bertha Spike.

The victory was historic for Sorenstam on numerous fronts:

-- Her $212,500 winner's check pushed her over the $2 million mark for the fifth consecutive season. She is the lone female golfer ever to pass $2 million in a year;

-- She clinched the Rolex Player of the Year Award for a record eighth time and locked up the top of the ADT Official Money List for the fifth straight year and eighth time overall;

-- It is her fifth Samsung victory, equaling the LPGA record held by Mickey Wright for wins at the same event;

-- Her eighth win of 2005 marks the fourth time in the last five seasons she has reached that standard in a single year;

-- Her eight-stroke margin of victory was her third this year and ninth of her career;

-- She is 6-for-6 in converting 54-hole leads into victory this year, running her streak to nine straight and 12 of her last 13..
