The 2011 U.S. Women’s Open is at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs this week! In honor of the U.S. Women’s Open, here’s some inspiration for everyone, athlete or not, from the LPGA.

Inspiration from Annika Sörenstam (the female golfer with the most career wins to her name):

Watch this video from to hear more about the inspiration Annika Sörenstam received from her father.

Annika Sörenstam is also the founder of the ANNIKA Foundation, which

teaches children the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle through fitness and nutrition, and offers aspiring junior golfers opportunities to pursue their dreams. The foundation supports junior golf programs by offering golf scholarships and hosting girls’ major junior championships around the world. The ANNIKA Foundation is also developing a physical fitness and nutrition program for children to realize their full potential and dreams, whether in golf, in other sports, or in life.

Inspiration from Paula Creamer:

Before winning the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open, Paula Creamer had never won a major championship. After a thumb injury at the beginning of the 2010 season, Paula Creamer didn’t know if she would even be able to play golf again. But she came through surgery to win her first major championship at the U.S. Women’s Open.

Inspiration from Stacy Lewis:

Stacy Lewis is known for winning the Kraft Nabisco Championship in April. She also “has long battled Scoliosis, and wore a back brace for 7.5 years.  Since having back surgery where she had a titanium rod and 5 screws that were implanted in her back, she has proven that a condition that would stop many, will not stop her.”

Inspiration from Kristy McPherson:

Kristy McPherson “is an inspiration to the 300,000 kids in America with juvenile arthritis.  At age 11, she was diagnosed with a rare form of juvenile arthritis and told that she would never play competitive sports again, much less be a champion.”

Do you have a favorite inspiration from the LPGA?
