Johnniey Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Well Done! Thailand has great golfers. Jaidee won a large tournament in Europe recently too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huanga Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Thongchai Jaidee is not shabby himself but Ariya shines bright! Great country for golf and now Ariya just might stoke the interest of the kids in Thailand to play more golf, like what Tiger did for the world golf community. Anything to get them off their ipads!

ramrod711 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 She has a wonderful smile as well, as she was approaching the 18th green she was a better advocate for Thailand than all the TAT advertisements combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza40 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 A great win, and a real boost for Thai golfers. She looks very strong, not surprising she can hit it a long way. A female Jason Day, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptic7 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Just 4 months ago she was #53 in the world. This Major + 3 consecutive wins earlier has catapulted het to #2...only behind Lydia Ko. Ariya is definitely on the short list for LPGA Golfer Of The Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
