Sorenstam praises Bivens

Here's one for wiefan:

Q: Are you satisfied with the direction of the LPGA and with its leadership?

Sorenstam: Yes, I am. I think it's gone really well. I was a little questioning of [LPGA Commissioner] CAROLYN BIVENS' steps in the beginning, but now she's turned me around and I'm a believer in what she does. Just looking at the purses and the tournaments, I definitely think we're going in the right direction.

Q: What steps turned you around?

Sorenstam: It's run more like a business. It's more thinking long term. We're trying to get more independent. Obviously when the purses go up, the sponsors are happy, and that's always a good thing. It's putting more credibility to the tournaments with sponsorships and so forth.

Now for the rest of the story.
This is something I have been hoping Annika Would do.\
Kinda open up a tad.

I still have some doubts about Bivens, but I'll take Annika's word for the sponsors being happy with the way things are going.
