STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. – For Annika Sorenstam, the 60th career win was one of her easiest.

Sorenstam cruised to a 10-stroke triumph in the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship on Sunday, shooting a bogey-free 67 that turned the final round into nothing more than an 18-hole victory lap.

She finished with a 23-under 265 at Eagle’s Landing Country Club south of Atlanta, matching the biggest 72-hole win of her career.

When the final putt dropped for a 3-footer for birdie at No. 18 – she pumped her fist, waved to the crowd and hugged her caddie.

It’s been a great week in so many ways,” Sorenstam said. “I’m very happy with the way I played.”

She fell just short of her most dominating performance – an 11-stroke victory at the 54-hole Kellogg-Keebler Classic in 2002.

The 34-year-old Swede tied Patty Berg for third place on the LPGA Tour’s career victory list and can now take aim at the only two players to win more – Kathy Whitworth (88) and Mickey Wright (82).

“Here I am with 60,” Sorenstam said. “I have to pinch myself to believe it’s real.”

Actually it’s 72, if you count 12 international wins that aren’t part of her official LPGA stats.

And how about these numbers for the week? Sorenstam hit the fairway with 82 percent of her drives, reached the green in regulation 76 percent of the time and needed only 108 putts – an average of 27 per day.

“She’s got everything,” runner-up Candie Kung said.

At the rate this is going, it would take only a few more years to knock off Wright and Whitworth. Sorenstam has won six of her last seven tournaments to give her 37 victories since the start of 2001, the year she reclaimed her place as the world’s top-ranked player from Karrie Webb.

With four wins already in 2005, Sorenstam is poised for her greatest season ever. She had 11 victories three years ago.

Sorenstam basically clinched No. 60 when she made it to the first tee on time. She came into the final round with an astonishing 10-stroke advantage, and no one gave even the hint of a challenge. Throughout the day, the margin from first to second never dipped below nine shots.

“We were playing a different tournament,” said Kung, who closed with a 65 that was good enough to win the B-Flight. “She’s up there in her own little world.”

Sorenstam played the first 39 holes of the tournament without a bogey. She had three on Saturday, but bounced back with nothing but birdies and pars in the final round.

On a course dampened by overnight rain after three sunny, humid days, Sorenstam got off to a typical start. She took advantage of a drive that was about 45 yards longer than her two playing partners, rolling in a 12-foot birdie putt.

Sorenstam didn’t overpower the par-5s like she did the first three days, and her putter wasn’t quite as precise. But there were holes for the taking such as the seventh and 14th – short par-4s that she nearly reached off the tee. Both times, she chipped close to the flag and sank the birdie putts.

There were a few moments of frustration. When a 10-foot birdie try at the ninth slid by the edge of the cup, Sorenstam buckled over in disgust.

Not to worry – the only challenger this day was history.

The mammoth 54-hole lead gave Sorenstam a shot at the biggest win in LPGA Tour history. Cindy Mackey had a 14-stroke runaway at the 1986 MasterCard International Pro-Am in 1986.

The rest of the stellar field – 92 of the top 100 money winners from last year – kept Sorenstam from reaching that mark, about the only thing that went their way. Cristie Kerr finished 11 strokes behind, while only three other players came as close as 13.

The resounding victory came just a week after Sorenstam failed in her bid to break Nancy Lopez’s record of five straight wins. Kerr won at Kingsmill, while Sorenstam finished 10 strokes back in a tie for 12th.

Well, it didn’t take her long to get a new winning streak started.

“I think I made her mad last week when I beat her by 10 shots,” Kerr said. “She wanted to blow the field away, and she did.”

Divots: Sorenstam became the first two-time winner of the Atlanta-area tournament. She also won in 2001, though that victory was much tougher; she defeated fellow Swede Sophie Gustafson in a playoff. … Sorenstam easily beat the previous tournament scoring record in relation to par – Se Ri Pak’s 16-under 200 in 2003, the last year of the three-round format. … Defending champion Jennifer Rosales tied for 31st, 20 shots behind the winner. … This was the final year of Chick-fil-A’s title sponsorship.
