Sorenstam places third in her European finale

8/09/2008 7:29:00 AM.  | 
Martina Eberl rallied from a six-shot deficit to win the Nykredit Masters today, while Annika Sorenstam settled for third in her final tournament on European soil.
   
Eberl was tied for second with Sorenstam going into the final round at Simon's Golf Club, but closed with a seven-under 66 to overtake Melissa Reid of England, who finished a stroke back.
   
Eberl carded eight birdies and one bogey for a 54-hole total of 14-under 205.
   
Reid, the Tour's leading rookie, shot 73 for her highest score in the event and slipped to second at 13-under.
   
Sorenstam, the 37-year-old Hall of Famer from Sweden, closed with a two-under 71, finishing five shots behind Eberl.
   
Sorenstam had three birdies and one bogey and finished at nine-under.
   
Winner of 10 majors and 72 LPGA titles, Sorenstam will retire at the end of the season to start a family and pursue business interests. She has won three LPGA titles this season.
   
It was Eberl's second Ladies European Tour win in 76 tournaments since 2003.
