Move over, Tiger Woods?

During a recent interview with talk show host David Letterman, world-class skiier Lindsey Vonn indicated that she possesses some on-course ability that may rival that of her boyfriend and current world No. 1.

‘I have a hole-in-one. I’m pretty proud of that,’ explained Vonn, who hopes to return to competitive skiing in time for the Sochi Olympics in February. ‘My first round of 18 holes, I had one. It didn’t bounce off a tree or anything and go in the hole, it was pretty legitimate.’

Vonn also shared details during the interview about how she and Woods met, indicating that the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year has also tried his hand at her sport.

‘He’s good (at skiing). He always wants to improve,’ she added. ‘Compared to me though, he’s not that good.’
