Karrie Webb and Annika Sorenstam turned the clock back on Sunday, and you're forgiven if you hadn't heard. The Hall of Famers battled at the Senior LPGA Championship, in what was the first appearance for both, with Webb prevailing after a final-round 67. The event was a flashback to a generation ago on the LPGA, when the two were combining for 113 titles including 17 majors. (From 2000-06, the pair combined to win half of all the majors, 14 of 28.) Fans at Salina Country Club in Kansas should consider themselves lucky to have seen it -- the tournament wasn't televised.
