The 18th hole of the second round of the 2023 PNC Championship may or may not have been special for Annika Sorenstam, but there's no doubt it was for her son Will McGee. The 10-time Major champion was stopped by the 12-year-old on her way off the course as he wanted to enjoy the moment with his mother.
Annika Sorenstam and Will McGee spoke to the press at the end of their second day at the PNC Championship, on Sunday, December 17. Both seemed extremely emotional about the opportunity to play together in a tournament they considered special. Tears accompanied the words of both.

This is what Annika Sorenstam and her son had to say to NBC:
WM: [This tournament] Is the best week of my year... Thank you PNC for everything.
AS: It is [an emotional moment], because it's so much fun, we've had good time together. We wanted to do a lot better today, but I think walking together, having a good time... I was walking pretty fast on 18th, and he said, 'Slow down, Mommy, I want to enjoy this moment'. I think that's kind of what we did all week.
Sorenstam and McGee had a decent outing at the PNC Championship, finishing T11 with a score of 15-under 129. Their overall performance included one eagle, 15 birdies, and only two bogeys, which came in the second round.
