Is it wrong that we root for Natalie Gulbis because she’s smoking hot? On Sunday, she came oh so close to winning her first title but lost to Mi Hyun Kim in a sudden death playoff. Kim said that she was surprised by the sheer number of people rooting for Gulbis.
I understand that I’m Korean and that many Americans fans are rooting for Natalie,” Kim said. “I was happy that a few people said my name or my nickname, or ‘Go Mi Hyun Kim.’
Actually, Kim, it has nothing to do with being Korean or American, it’s because Natalie is hot as all get out. We’d root for someone from Iraq if she looked great in a short skirt… (Although perhaps that’s our male bias.)
In any case, a 2nd place showing is still good enough to avoid the Anna Kournikova tag and she will still move plenty of calendars and get plenty of modeling gigs.
