Sorenstam turns to yoga mystics before Dubai swansong

DUBAI: Former world No 1 Annika Sorenstam plans to sign off from the women's tour in style at the Dubai Ladies Masters starting on Thursday after spending time at a yoga retreat on her first visit to India.

The 38-year-old Swede, who has won 72 LPGA tournaments including 10 majors, will retire after the Masters to get married, start a family and pursue her business interests.

"I had a really weird preparation for this week and I will have to rely on memories from the previous years and the knowledge of the course to play some good golf," Sorenstam said.
