Last weekend, at the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic presented by Kroger, the excitement of being with Christina Kim, our Ladies Links Fore Golf Magazine cover girl, was overwhelming!
In the first round, Cristina shot 5 under par and was just 2 shots out of the lead. Right after she finished that round she was a guest on our radio show! In her final round, she double bogeyed number 10, and fell four 4 shots out of the lead. What was great about this round though, was that Christina never quit fighting to win. She rallied right back with 3 birdies in a row and wound up in a four person playoff to determine the winner.
Christina putted great all week and was consistently making the par putts she needed following an aggressive birdie attempt. I was in the grandstand on hole 18 when Christina had a birdie putt for the win. Although she the right line, the ball slowed down and broke just before going into the hole. The lesson to learn here is to always accelerate through the putt and give it enough pace to roll past the hole if it doesn't go in.
Although Christina was not the eventual winner , you could sense that the crowd was routing for the only American in the playoff to win on July 4th. We are so proud to have Christina on the cover of our fourth issue of Ladies Links Fore Golf Magazine, not just because she is a great golfer but because she is passionate, unpredictable, friendly, kind and wants to make a difference in the world!
