Gaby Lopez told Golf Channel's Amy Rogers earlier this year that no event was bigger to her than the Olympics.
“That’s my ultimate goal, being able to peak at that week,” Lopez said in January about the Games. “That’s what my schedule is going to be played around, being rested, being prepared, in time to play well that week.”
While there is an LPGA major being contested this week in France, Lopez is in Tokyo, Japan, and on Friday she helped carry her country's flag at the Olympics' Opening Ceremony.
“It’s a huge honor to be able to represent my country in women’s golf in Mexico, which isn’t a huge sport,” Lopez said previously.
