Natalie Gulbis Defending 3-Tour Challenge Championship

I like golf, but I could care less about the sport when this fine lady is on the links hitting the little white balls, and putting them into holes. I still don't watch her show on the golf network though. Gulbis will probably win this event too, because not only is very beautiful, she is very good at the sport. Not like other major sports stars who are only there because of their looks. I can think of a couple from a few different sports.

Bright House Sports Network's David Baumann got the chance on Friday to talk with Natalie Gulbis, of the Ladies Pro Golf Association about a big upcoming tournament.

David Baumann: I'm being joined by LPGA Tour Pro Natalie Gulbis from Las Vegas, where she is getting ready for the Wendy's 3-Tour Challenge. It's basically a 3 on 3 on 3 -- LPGA vs. PGA vs. The Champions. Speaking of champions, you're the reigning champion out there aren't ya?

Natalie Gulbis: Yes we are. We won the event last year and we will be defending and we'll be working like crazy to keep the trophy with us on our tour.

Baumann: Now, let me get this straight, how did you manage to keep the trophy over this past year? Cristie Kerr let you keep it?

Gulbis: Yes, she did, both girls let me keep it. It was held on my home golf course last year on Lake Las Vegas and I said I really want to keep it in the clubhouse to rub it in on everyone that comes around and just kind of celebrate it with the members and the people who see the event on TV and they let me keep it front and center when you check it for a round of golf.

Baumann: So it's you, Cristie Kerr and Morgan Pressel, can you talk about your opponents this week?

Gulbis: This week we're playing against Stewart Cink, Rocco Mediate and Kenny Perry. On the Champions side, we're playing against Fred Funk, Jay Haas and Nick Price, it's a great group.

Baumann: They're not chumps. Natalie, take us through this week. It's starting Tuesday the 11th, and, honestly, are you competing as hard as you would be on the LPGA Tour, or is this really a lot more fun where you can be more relaxed? How is it?

Gulbis: I think you're competing more than you would in a regular event. It's like playing on a Sunday when you're coming down the stretch. You're playing for your team, but you're representing the LPGA Tour, as well. And we're defending. We want to go up against the men and defend our title, so we're definitely going to be grinding out there.
