Sophia Popov's one major expense and her return to major competition
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. – You have to be careful with stereotypes. Somebody says something, you think something, but it’s best to not react.
So when Sophia Popov said that she had no big plans for her $675,000 winner’s share from the Women’s Open, the immediate, internal reaction was: Aren’t Germans pragmatic regarding their finances?
Thankfully, that wasn’t a terrible typecast as Popov then said, “German people save all their money and then one day they pass it on to their kids or something. That's probably what's going to end up happening. Save for college funds and everything.”
