My life, my 2008
I started playing golf as a six year old and since then golf has dominated my life.  I played by first tournament at the age of ten and I finished a good amateur career with victory in the World Championships in Berlin.  I played on the European Tour for two years and in 2003 I started playing on the LPGA. 

My goal for 2008 is to keep delivering top performances, to get the best out of every day and try to close in on Lorena.
