Another Win for Helen Alfredsson
It's
been a good golf year for 40 somethings. I'm thinking about Kenny Perry for the
men and Helen Alfredsson for the women.
The
43-year-old Alfredsson came from behind on Sunday to claim the Grand China Air
LPGA, her second title of the season. She won the Evian Masters in July. The Swede carded eight birdies on her way to
a final-round 65 and a three-shot victory. Yani Tseng was the runner-up.
Alfredsson's
sixth career win pushed her across the $5 million mark in career earnings. She
credited her workouts for keeping her going during the leaner years on tour.
"Well,
I haven't really been having much success the last few years, Alfredsson said.
"But I think one of my keys ... I've tried to stay fit all my life. I've had some
injuries, but I always worked out and stayed pretty strong."
