Annika is back on her home turf this week to mark the 5th annual ANNIKA Cup in Sweden. Here, she describes the final day of the ANNIKA Cup at Bro Balsta Golf Club, where it all began.
SWEDEN, 5:30 p.m. -- Today was the final day of the 5th annual ANNIKA Cup and I must say, it was probably the most exciting. The teams played foursomes and match-play and the entire tournament was literally decided by the final group on the 18th hole. Marina Hedlund from Northern Sweden chipped in for birdie to win her match one up and secure victory for the Red Team.

After the matches, we took team photos and conducted some media interviews.

After that, we ate together and recapped the past few days. I provided the girls with some parting words of wisdom, then surprised them by doing my "Morning Drive" call-in live with them in the room on speaker phone. They were able to say “Goooo Sweden,” which brought some smiles.

All in all, it was a very productive and fun couple of days. It seemed like the girls felt the camaraderie amongst the group and I hope they made some friends for life.
 |
The girls left Bro Balsta full of energy and hopefully encouraged to keep working hard. With the European Solheim Cup next week, I hope this inspires some of these girls to one day represent Europe.

| Goooo Sweden! |
I have quite a few more photos from the ANNIKA Cup up on the ANNIKA Foundation Facebook page. Check them out here!
