GOLD COAST, Australia -- Karrie Webb thinks she again be No. 1 in women's golf.

"If I was to become No. 1 again, that would be my greatest achievement of all," the 31-year-old Webb said Tuesday on the eve of the ANZ Ladies Masters at Royal Pines.

Webb believes the difference between her and top-ranked Annika Sorenstam is mostly mental.

"Annika believes in herself 110 percent. I'm not quite there on the golf course," said Webb.

"I'm hitting shots even I can't believe I'm hitting now. I don't think there's much difference between her and I. She hits it further than me now but I think I've got more shots in my bag than she does.

"But she's just so strong mentally and obviously riding a big wave of confidence."

Webb, who was inducted in the World Golf Hall of Fame last year, won four times as a rookie and captured the money title, becoming the first woman to earn more than $1 million in 1996. She has 30 LPGA victories and six majors.

A five-time ANZ Masters champion, Webb is favorite going into the joint Australian-European tours event that includes Japan's Ai Miyazato.

Last year in her first appearance at Royal Pines, Miyazato led after the first three rounds and had a four-stroke lead going into Sunday's final round but lost by one shot to Webb.
