ORLANDO, Fla. – Gaby Lopez is looking forward to the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. And with good reason.
Lopez told GolfChannel.com on Tuesday that following her victory at the 2020 Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, where she is defending her title this week, she was approached by Carlos Padilla Becerra, the president of the Mexican Olympic Committee. Lopez says he offered her the opportunity to carry the flag for Mexico during the opening ceremony in Japan.
“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.
