I really don't think Lorena has anything to do with it. I know her and Mike want to start a family after they get married in January. It's tough for those women out there to maintain their level of play after having kids. Their priorities change. I think Annika could have played for many more years and broken every LPGA record there is...but she obviously feels its time for her to walk away and I can respect that.
