TURNBERRY, Scotland (AP) -- Lizette Salas should be midway through her first round at the Women's British Open on Thursday morning when Donald Trump arrives via helicopter to expected fanfare at his Turnberry resort.
Salas, a U.S golfer with Mexican heritage, likely won't pay much attention.
Not because she holds a grudge at Trump's derogatory remarks about Mexicans that have dominated the pre-tournament chatter at the fourth major of the year. Quite simply, Salas will have more important things on her mind.
''He can say what he wants,'' the 26-year-old Salas said Wednesday. ''It does not change the way I feel about myself, about my heritage. I'm very proud of my parents and where my grandparents are from.
''Regardless of what he said, that's my goal - to hold up that trophy.''

“In one particular remark, the Republican contender said some Mexican immigrants bring drugs and crime to the U.S., and some are rapists.”
Absolutely everyone knows he was talking about “illegal” immigrants. These people are such liars.
Yep. Good ol’ Steve Douglas. Just reporting the facts... (sarcasm)

Poor, underprivileged (literally, "insufficiently set above others") woman. Do they let her drink from that swanky club's water fountain? I'll bet they do, every time. It's not as if she were a Guatemalan in Mexico.
Shut up and golf!
Lizette was offered the anti-Trump, anti-American kool aide by Univision or Telemundo, and she drank it.
‘twould be nice if somehow during the non-golf social activities at Turnbridge, Trump would have a chance to meet Lizette, chat a little and allay some of her misconceptions.
Turnberry! What did I say...Turnbridge?
Time for a nap.
Trump does understand, doesn’t he, that the Women’s British Open is a GOLF game?
JK
It is obvious she has no idea what he said. Her ignorance is amazing. She sounds like a meat head sports jock who can’t play golf and think at the same time. Does she realize how ignorant she sounds?
