Morgan Pressel made headlines again this year when she emerged victorious in a match up against Annika Sorenstam at the Solheim Cup, the Ladies Professional Golf Association’s prestigious team event, held in Sweden last week.
Hall of Famer Sorenstam is Sweden’s best female professional golfer. Back in April, 19-year-old Pressel became the youngest person ever to win a major tournament at the Nabisco Championship.
Pressel, who was raised Jewish in Florida, is the niece of world-famous tennis player Aaron Krickstein.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
