“I thought I was going to drown”: Not a good swimmer, Mao Saigo takes Chevron jump anyway

From the People’s Republic of Mao Saigo’s Sladeno, Skip to Lake on Sunday at the Chevron Championship looked relatively routine.

In addition to being.

“I’m not a good swimmer,” Saigo revealed later over the interpreter. “When I got inside, it was deeply, and in the beginning I thought I was going to drown.”

23-year-old Saigo, who took more players for her first victory in the LPGA and the main title, said “too shy” to jump alone, so she skipped the manager and Japanese television reporter, to jump with her. From the appearance, none of them were strong swimmers.

Saigo’s Caddy, Jeffrey Snow and two mulg trainers followed a little more than 10 seconds to save those fighting water, which is about 5 feet deep at the end of the port, and eventually pull them back in the coast.

“Every time I broke the surface, I pulled underneath,” Snow told Golf weekAdding that he asked Saigo earlier in the day if she could swim, and she replied, “No.”

When the championship was played on Mission Hills, the winners would jump in Poppie pond, a man’s body of water that is more like a pool. Now the champions jump into an ancient lake with a murky water supply and an alligator network.

Back to dry land, Saigo asked how she planned to continue her celebration.

“I want my manager to cook something really good,” Saigo replied, “and then give me some rest.”
