Initially, Will made the observation of her mother holding a 7-iron for a drive down the green. He also claimed that her timing hasn’t been the best in recent days, but was confident of her mom to eke out a shot under the circumstances. “She’s been playing solid,” he said.

After a good hit, Sorenstam reached the green with a putt for birdie. It was here that young Will decided to make his calculated guesses for the birdie putt. “This putt’s very fast. It’s downhill, downwind. It’s going to want to break a little bit. So hopefully she can get the speed right here,” he said.

Furthermore, Will claimed that he went down the hole with his father earlier in the day, which could help his mother. Mike McGee, who’s husband to Sorenstam, was caddying for her at the tournament.

“Whenever he has a lie, she trusts him and then it goes in. So that’s nice” Will claimed. After careful observations on the field of play, Sorenstam pushed a 25-30 yard out putt successfully for a birdie, which was met with loud cheers from onlookers.
