The Hot List: Oct. 10
Sports Illustrated's Alan Shipnuck takes a weekly look at who's hot and who's not in the golf world. This week: the Special Solheim Cup edition. HOT 1. Swedish golf babes. They look great and play even better. Collectively they dominated this Solheim. In my next life, I want to come back as the official uniform of the Swedish national team. 2. Carin Koch. Playing the clutchest golf of a riveting singles session, she battles back from 3 down with 8 to play to sink the winning putt. Plus, that Pippi Longstocking thing she's got going on is simply too much. 3. Catrin Nilsmark . Former runway model -- serial Solheim Cup hero -- married to a golf writer. Oh well, nobody's perfect. 4. Helen Alfredsson . The tartest tongue in golf, and last week, the hottest putter. Plus, she always gives your Hot List scribe a kiss on the cheek to say hello. Is this objective journalism? Who cares? 5. Sophie Gustafson . Forget her struggles in singles -- the two days before, this long-knocking 26-year-old was absolutely electric. The next megastar in women's golf, and you read it here first (hopefully). NOT 1. Ugly Americans. First the Ryder Cup imbroglio, now this. Whatever pillorying we get by Britain's gutter press, it won't be harsh enough. 2. Kelly Robbins. Pat Hurst nearly blew out a lumbar disk carrying her in team play, and then Robbins creates an international incident with an outrageous act of gamesmanship. Gee, thanks for the effort, Kel. 3. Capt. Pat. We understand she was in a foul mood -- that's what happens when your captain's selection Beth Daniel is on her way to an 0-3-1 record -- but did Mme. Bradley really need to make Annika cry? 4. Michele Redman. Nice woman, but being fitted for goat horns after collapsing down the stretch against Koch. Maybe she oughta change her name to Susie. 5. Scottish weather. Wool socks, cords, poly pro thermal, wool sweater, Patagonia, Gore-Tex hat, and I was still frostier than Karrie Webb. Get me the hell back to Cali.
