This is the first post in a series that will feature women flying high in the world of sports. Read more about them at http://msn.foxsports.com/horseracing/pgStory?contentId=9585936&Gt1=39002#sport=MLB&photo=9584140
Annika Sorenstam
Sorenstam was the No. 1 women's golfer in the world when she accepted an invitation to play in the PGA Tour's Bank of America Colonial tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, in 2003. She became the first woman to play in a PGA event since Babe Didrickson Zaharias qualified for the Los Angeles Open in 1945.
After shooting a one-over-par 71 in the first round, Sorenstam shot four over in the second, missing the cut. "I gave it all," she said. "I tried. I gave everything I had."
For a very long time, no one told African American women that they could fly, so there are very few of them as commercial pilots. This website is for inspiring women to fly. Flying being defined as succeeding. Succeeding defined however you decide. We are simply here to tell you sistergirlfriend, YOU CAN FLY!
