CLIFTON, N.J. (AP) -- Hall of Fame golfer Annika Sorenstam is going to have a girl this fall.

The 38-year-old Swede and her husband, Mike McGee, announced the gender of her first baby on her blog on Thursday.

"To use golf terms, we just "made the turn" from a timing standpoint and are very excited that everything looks good so far," Sorenstam said. "We'll keep you posted."

Sorenstam retired from the LPGA Tour last year after 72 victories and 10 majors, saying she wanted to start a business and a family.
