THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL
When acclaimed golfer Tiger
Woods won the Masters Tourna-
ment earlier this year, Matthew At-
kinson (Thomas) was on hand to
watch him clinch the coveted
green jacket. Years ago, the actor’s
father won a lotter y that awarded
him the chance to buy two tickets
to the illustrious sporting event ev-
er y year. “Once they offer you the
tickets, you
have to buy
them ever y year, or
you forfeit them,”
Atkinson explains.
“So this year it just
worked out with our
Eye Of
The Tiger
Katrina Bowden (Flo) lived in New
York City prior to moving to Los Ange-
les, and while the cities are strikingly
different, she’s enjoying the left coast.
“New York was so crazy and hectic,
and there are so many people wherev-
er you go,” she says. “Here, there’s a
more laid-back vibe. I have my car, and
I have my ‘alone time,’ which feels
great.” What does the actress do dur-
ing all that time to herself? “I’ll work
out, or my husband and I like to go
hiking with our dogs. I also work on
my blog [Fit Kat By Katrina Bowden]
on my days off,” she says. “I don’t do
anything too crazy. I just like to be at
home. I’m kind of boring!”

Atkinson has
run several
marathons.
THAT’S A
FAC T
Bowden is loving laid-back L.A.
schedule that I
was able to fly
there during the
show’s [spring]
hiatus, so my dad
and I went togeth-
er. It was incredi-
ble to be there and
see Tiger Woods
finally come full
circle and getting
to win it again.” As
for Atkinson’s own
golf game, he admits he’s better off in
the spectators’ stands. “I’m okay,” he
says. “I can hold my own, but there are
guys that I know that could kick my butt
on the course any day.”
