Maria had the following to say about idolizing fellow smoking Russian athlete Maria Sharapova and her penchant for spicing things up fashion wise on the golf course.
“I am looking at Maria Sharapova, not because of the way she looks but because of the way she plays, I think Russian women are strong mentally. They are trying really hard and they are achieving things.”
“I always like to bring something extra special to the golf course, so if I’m wearing sexier, more stylish stuff like a shorter skirt or a nice tennis-style dress and people notice then great. ”
There was no comment in regards to her comfort with shafts, preferred balls, putting from the rough, getting up and in, working on her stroke or Tiger Woods.
