AUGUSTA Ga. The Olympic ski racing champion Lindsey Vonn waited at a table on the Augusta National Golf Club veranda next to the putting practice green Thursday morning as Tiger Woods completed his final warm up swings before his 10 45 a.m. tee time.

Dressed in a long beige dress that hid a large black brace on her surgically reconstructed right knee Vonn who has been dating Woods for several months said she planned to watch him play the first hole but would otherwise have to watch the tournament in the clubhouse.

I can t really walk too much Vonn said. And it s so hilly here.

Vonn said she arrived in Augusta a few days ago and was still getting acclimated to the pace and culture of a golf tournament.

Very different from a ski race she said with a smile.

Asked if she had been to the Masters before she answered Me No way. But it s beautiful here. Very green.

With her right leg up occasionally as she sat on the veranda Vonn who also wore a wide brimmed straw hat said the rehab of her knee is on schedule. Accompanied by her physical therapist she is working out frequently at a gym in Augusta.

I m looking forward to the tournament she said. I ll be here every day to the end.
