Ariya triumphs at home
Print Edition
Ariya Jutanugarn finally got her hands on the Honda LPGA Thailand title after 14 years of trying yesterday, beating compatriot Atthaya Thitikul by one stroke in a dramatic finish to the US$1.6-million tournament. Having hit a ninth birdie at the 18th hole to sign for a flawless 63, the 25-year-old Thai had a nervous wait in the clubhouse before her 11th LPGA title was confirmed as a thunderstorm forced a one-hour suspension of play. Atthaya, who had led by a shot with two holes to play, was the only one of the six players still on the course who could still catch Ariya 鈥 a shot off the lead with her round paused on the 18th fairway. After play resumed at Siam Country Club, however, the teenager was only able to par the 18th for a 68 to fall one stroke short of Ariya鈥檚 tally of 22-under 266. Former world No. 1 Ariya, who made her debut at the tournament as an 11-year-old amateur in 2007, shed tears of joy as she became the first Thai to win the title.
