British Open
After a tough four days around Sunningdale, I leave with a top-10 finish. Itfeels great to have a top-10 in a Major. I have had a good two weeks in Europeand the work that I did in the off week preparing has shown in my results. Istarted yesterday with an eagle at the first hole. What a way to start thefinal round! Unfortunately, I did not follow it up with any birdies andactually bogeyed two holes until #10. I eagled #10 and finished the round witha 71. Two eagles, three bogeys, no birdies..what a round. I have never had twoeagles in a round!
I had a great week here. As I shared earlier, Annika Sorenstam her fiance,Mike, as well as my best friends Mitch and Lara Mitchelson shared a 5 bedroomhome at Wentworth, which is another famous golf course here in Europe. We had agreat week. Annika, Lara and I cooked together on the final night, which was atreat. We made pasta, a fantastic chicken dish, roasted asparagus, garlicbread, salad, and sat around the table for an extra two hours telling storiesand laughing. It was special for me to spend time with my friends and also tohear Annika share her feelings on her participation in her last Major.
After the Tournament, Annika left for Sweden to play in the event she hosts inher native country. I was spent and Mitch and Lara cooked a wonderful meal andwe relaxed and chatted with great wine, salmon and fresh vegetables. We watchedHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days as our starter movie, and followed that up withPhantom of the Opera.
It is Monday and I have a quick photo shoot with TaylorMade and then we areheading into downtown London to shop and go sightseeing. We are excited to goto Sloan Street and back to Harrods and visit Buckingham Palace and theNational Museum. Tonight I fly to Tokyo and on to Sapporo for the next event.It is a treat to have a day off to relax and explore. I travel so much andoften only see the hotel, gym, and golf course.
I will write from Japan
