Annika Sorenstam turns back the clock and rises to the top at U.S. Senior Women's Open

The last time the world saw Annika Sorenstam play in a major, most were watching their box TVs as she capped her Hall of Fame career holing a 199 yard eagle on the 72nd hole of the 2008 U.S. Women's Open.

It was 13 years before, at the 1995 U.S. Women's Open when she notched her first LPGA title. Now, 13 years since her fairy tale ending, the 50-year-old is back for her first major tournament since '08 at Brooklawn Country Club in Fairfield, Connecticut, for the U.S. Women's Senior Open.

In Sorenstam's first round she showed no signs of rust, signing her scorecard tied for the lead with Dana Ebster after shooting 5-under 67.
