Nobody feels better about a return to Evian than Nordqvist, who claimed her second major last year in a sudden-death playoff. She battled more than Brittany Altomare. She battled some of the worst elements a major has ever been decided in, with heavy winds, heavy rain and hail pummeling her in the playoff.What's so special about it, I worked so hard to get my second major, for so long, Nordqvist said. I've always been kind of a player that never gave up and always kept fighting. Just to do it under those conditions, and the playoff, I always stayed positive. It was obviously very emotional when I won.Nordqvist, 31, won her first major as an LPGA rookie in 2009. She lost a bid to win a second at the U.S. Womens Open in 2016, when a controversial penalty for grazing a grain or two of sand in a bunker cost her in a playoff with Brittany Lang. She won at Evian last year coming off a summer struggle with mononucleosis.Hall arrives inspired by fellow Brit Justin Roses rise to world No. 1.I would like obviously to become world No. 1, said Hall, who is No. 8 in the Rolex Womens World Rankings. I'm not miles away from that.Lindberg says she arrives for majors with a different feeing since winning the ANA.I come into them with more confidence than before, because I know that I have won one, Lindberg said. So, I've just proven to myself and everyone else that I can win one of these.
