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.
