Annika not playing at Ginn Open

The lpga.com leaderboard this morning lists her under "Did Not Start", her name is now missing from the Final Field page, and she's no longer listed in any of the first round groups.

As of 8:30am EDT, I haven't found any info on why she didn't start. She must have had a good reason - being the official host of Ginn #2 next month, the sponsor wouldn't be happy about losing her from the field.

By the way, Jan Stephenson didn't start either. Probably because they were forcing her to play today with a couple of Koreans.

UPDATE 9:30am
A ruptured disc in her back will sideline Annika for several weeks. Article here.
