After 2 rounds of the 2008 Ricoh Women’s British Open, Natalie Gulbis sits in contention near the top of the leaderboard. Gulbis shot an opening round 69 and followed it up nicely in round 2 with a beautiful 68. Natalie is just a few shots off the lead and poised to make a move to the top in round 3 on Saturday. Natalie had great success in 2007 by winning the 2007 Evian Masters in France. Her great play this week makes us wonder if she loves playing in Europe. Stay tuned!
EVIAN FRANCE Bonjour! I am writing you from the Evian Royal Resort from the beautiful hillside of Evian, France! I am especially excited to be staying at this five star resort as a previous winner of this week’s event. The players all stay at one of the two hotels here in Evian. I have a great “junior suite” with a spectacular panoramic ocean view at the royal… It is an honor to stay at this hotel with the former champions and to see their pictures displayed in the entry and hallways. The town of Evian strongly supports this tournament and the large bright pink Evian Masters flags are hung all over this charming town. The weather is beautiful and it’s warm and sunny. How great is it to look below the hotel onto Lake Geneva which is a huge lake se parating France and Switzerland which I can view from my French patio doors. The hotel sits on the hillside with the lake below and the golf course just above. On our grassy hill is a huge infinity pool that spills off into the view of the lake. I am here with so many fond memories of my first win here last July. I just spent a productive week at home in Vegas last week where I spent most of my time testing new Taylor made drivers. I am traveling with a new selection, the new Burner with the same shaft that I played with here last year. I look forward to putting it to the test!! I have already been on the golf course for the past three days and the course is in the best condition I have seen it in the four years I have played it. I am paired with the number one player in France, Glawdys Nocera and also Lorena Ochoa whom I was paired with last year. My mom is here this week. She came to the event last year so I’m glad she came this year too. I am really excited and proud of here. She has lost 28 pounds with the help of a trainer from 24 hour fitness. She has been training three days a week and alternating with an hour of cardio the other days. Her workouts are almost two hours and her diet is strict! We work out each morning and run stairs, do cardio and lift weights. I have to step up my fitness as she is in better shape than I am! I have all my golf outfits planned for this week and will be wearing the latest Adidas Fall season which includes lots of dresses so I am excited. Yesterday afternoon we took a boat ride across the lake to Lausanne, Switzerland to shop and sightsee. This is a favorite outing for the players, family and fans. This is our masters and the field is among the strongest of the four LPGA majors. I am ready for this tournament to begin… Au Revoir!
