When asked what she would say to American and Canadian golf enthusiasts who hesitate to travel to Mazatlan, she responded that “…the golf course is in great shape…the atmosphere is very nice… the culture and history are wonderful. In my case I can set an example by coming here and showing people that we are happy and enjoying every day. We are inviting everybody to come here and see this beautiful place,” she concluded.
The exhibition match will take on Friday January 28th at noon, versus Spaniard Azahara Muñoz. Lorena will offer a golf clinic on the morning of Saturday January 29th. Both events are open to the public and will support charity organizations for children. The Weekend will conclude with an air show with Flyers Team pilots from the US and Mexico.
