Rookie Juntima proves she's one to watch

Erratic play on Sunday's last two holes cost Thailand's Juntima Gulyanamitta a top-20 finish in her debut appearance at the US Women's Open.

 

The LPGA rookie had two birdies on the fourth and seventh holes before a double bogey on the 17th followed by a bogey saw her sign off with a 73 for a seven-over 295 total. She finished tied for 21st with Americans Brittany Lang and Jennie Lee, South Korean Kang Jimin and Spain’s Azahara Munoz.
Thai No 1 Pornanong Phatlum, who shot 75 in the final round, scored an eight-over total of 296 to take joint 28th position along with Ai Miyazato of Japan, Swede Anna Nordqvist and American Mina Harigae.
