The hottest of the hot – Sandra Gal
German Sandra Gal is one of the most rising stars on the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Tour, as she not only boasts a solid profile, but also good stature off the course.
The German superstar, currently residing in Orlando, Florida, is perhaps one of the most accomplished players in the world of golf. So far, only a few LPGA stars have been able to match her stature and capabilities
on and off the course.
Although still looking to make a name for herself in terms of her game and the number of victories, the German golfer has been able to project her image as one of the most marketable players.
She rose to fame even before racking up her first LPGA title in March 2011 as she remained in the spotlight due to her good looks. She displayed a stunning performance at the 2011 Kia Classic, as she beat South
Korean Jiyai Shin by one stroke. She outclassed her nearest rivals by making perfect strokes on most of the holes.
Experts have said that Gal’s success has been a little underreported, as she has shown in the past that she has what it takes to put up a tough fight on the course.
They said that the professional golfer is best known for her style and looks, despite not having as solid a profile as Yani Tseng’s. Yet, she has proved on several occasions that she is keen to keep moving
ahead on the LPGA Tour.
After beating Jiyai Shin at the Kia Classic 2011, the German prodigy talked to the media, expressing her confidence in her game. She had said that the victory would help her gain much-needed confidence and
she would soon find herself competing against big names in the Women’s World Golf Rankings.
“Well, I'm a bit overwhelmed. It was an amazing day. You know, it was close all day long, so I had to kind of dig deep to pull out some shots. And Jiyai obviously didn't have her best day but then she started
rolling a few birdies in, and her irons were right on the spot every time,” she had said after hoisting her trophy.
Currently ranked 30th in the Women’s World Golf Rankings, Gal is seeking to further boost her position. So far, the star golfer has found it a bit hard to cope with all the pressure and media attention.
However, her stunning performance in some of the events in the 2012 season has reflected that she is set to move forward.
For instance, the US Women’s Open 2012 saw Gal display a stellar performance. She finished third, keeping most of her rivals at bay.
Despite making an all-out effort to prove her worth on the LPGA Tour, experts say that Gal has apparently made a name for herself by becoming the most stylish golfer.
In one of her interviews with GolfChannel.com, Gal spoke about the fame game. She said that she does focus on fashion, but her major concern is performing well on the course.
