Sybase: Natalie Gulbis tied for lead
Just when I started thinking, Is Natalie Gulbis cooling off from her hot start, she takes a share of the first round lead at the Sybase Classic along with Beth Bauer and Hee Won Han.
Natalie’s round of 68 included a holed 100-yard sand wedge for eagle on the 8th hole, and 4 birdies including a chip-in from 60 feet. Said Nat: “When I holed that wedge it changed my momentum and I played well on the back nine. I like this course because it plays like a major. Players are not going to be able to shoot 62, 63 out here.”
After beating out Natalie for 2002 Rookie of the Year, Beth Bauer’s game has dropped off considerably. I saw her last year at Wendy’s flub-dub her way to a triple bogey on the last hole. She shot +13 for two days and missed the cut. Good to see Beth back on form. More here.
