Sometimes you get downright lucky. During the third round of the J Golf Phoenix LPGA International, when I got the unique opportunity to caddie for Erica Blasberg, some exciting news came my way -- we were going to be paired with Christina Kim.If you don't know about Christina, you're missing out on one of the more unique golfers in the world (just check her Twitter). The good news for all of us is that this week, at the McDonald LPGA Championship, Kim will be mic'd up for the first round. Unlike the exhibitions we normally get when Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia joke with each other up and down the fairway, this will be a top-notch talent with an even more impressive mouth on her saying exactly what she feels during the real thing.
Stephanie Wei over at Wei Under Par asked Christina what she thought of the whole thing.
I'm so thrilled that I'm being given the opportunity to share with my fans and followers what goes through my head as i play a tournament. It's great for the Tour, and a wonderful way to make people see the real me - Because i'm not sure everyone can read my lips. Lol.I can tell you from first-hand experience that it will be a hoot. Kim was the most animated player we teed up with all week, scolding her golf ball for going places it shouldn't and even joking with fans that would yell out random things that might not have fit the situation. Like any golfer, her frustration was real and something we don't always get to see with a microphone yards away from the player.
Kim has won twice on the LPGA Tour and finished seventh in the first major of the year in 2009.
