Her suitcase has been struck in Detroit for 40 hours and she hasn’t been able to track it down. Lee took to Twitter to share her dilemma. 

Speaking on the mishap she said, “I’m going to go track my suitcase and make sure everything is there. Maybe take a little nap. I slept through the night last night so I might not have to do that. But I’m going to send Delta a pretty nasty email.”

Allison Lee’s preparation for the Evian Championship.

The 28-year-old hasn’t won a major tournament yet. However, she has recently made some changes in her team before the U.S. Women’s Open. She has now a new putting coach and the effects are visible. Last week she finished on T-15 at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational. Speaking about the new habit changes from her coach she said, “We’ve been working a lot on not so much my stroke, more so like mental, speed, and more feel, stuff like that. I think it’s really helped.” The move has paid her well. Her performance is clearly showing improvement and her current lead at Evian is supporting evidence. 

Lee has admitted that the course is visually intimidating however she gave a stunning performance and fared well with birdies on two holes. The event will have its final round on Sunday and fans want to see Alison continuing her lead into the final round.
