Sophie Sandolo beats Karrie Webb! An update of our favorite Italian calendar girl golfer

Our friend Sophie Sandolo shocked the golfing world by leaving LPGA money leader Karrie Webb in the dust at the Women’s British Open.

Ok, so maybe it helped that Webb missed the cut at 14-over, but the lovely Miss Sandolo did beat her, missing the cut herself after going 13-over for her two rounds. So once again, the most shocking thing about Sandolo remains her calendar.

At 32nd on the Ladies European Tour money list thus far in 2006, Sandolo has some work to do to better her performance of 2005, when she finished at No. 15. She did, however, win something called the Princess Lalla Meriem Cup and finished sixth in ESPN’s Hottest Female Athlete competition.

So, it’s been an up and down year for Sandolo, who has stayed positive as always as fans pray for the arrival of her 2007 calendar.

As an aside, Sandolo was rumored to have been asked her opinion on Brandi Chastain’s campaign to make Chris Baldwin the new LPGA commissioner.

Sandolo only gestured (see below) as Italians are prone to do, muttering something that sounded like “Tini pini itti bitti,” which we can only assume means “Sounds like a fabulous idea to me,” in Italian.
