Sorenstam cruises to 60th career win in Atlanta charity

Annika Sorenstam cruised to a 10-stroke victory in the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship on Sunday, shooting a bogey-free 67 for her 60th career US LPGA Tour title.

She finished with a 23-under 265 at Eagle's Landing Country Club south of Atlanta, matching the biggest 72-hole win of her career.

When the final putt dropped -- a 3-footer for birdie at No. 18 -- she pumped her fist, waved to the crowd and hugged her caddie.

She fell just short of her most dominating performance -- an 11-stroke victory at the 54-hole Kellogg-Keebler Classic in 2002.

The 34-year-old Swede tied Patty Berg for third place on the LPGA Tour's career victory list and can now take aim at the only two players to win more -- Kathy Whitworth (88) and Mickey Wright (82).
