VANCOUVER - Annika Sorenstam played six holes then withdrew from the Canadian Women's Open on Thursday.
Sorenstam, the LPGA's top money-winner, has been bothered by a cold since last week's U.S. Women's Open. She was 1-over through six holes.
She walked off the course after hitting her second shot on the par-4 seventh into a greenside bunker.
"I'm feeling bad for the fans and the tournament, but my whole body feels ill," Sorenstam said in a statement before leaving Point Grey Golf and Country Club, where Heather Bowie shot 6-under 66 and had a two-stroke lead over Juli Inkster and three others after the first round.
