Teen prodigy Atthaya brushes aside wet course to win Thailand Ladies Amateur

Teen prodigy Atthaya brushes aside wet course to win Thailand Ladies Amateur

Golf sensation Atthaya Thitikul defied the damp condition to take a commanding 11-stroke victory in the 27th Singha Thailand Ladies Amateur Open Golf Championship  at the Amata Spring Country Club on Thursday.

 

The 16-year-old former Ladies European Thailand Championship winner shot the final round 67 for a total 14 under-par 202 to beat Phannarai Meesom-us who followed second on 214 at the par 72 6,248 yard course.

Overnight heavy rain made it difficult for golfers to play their game but the teen prodigy had no problem as she cruised to a convincing victory in her third appearance at the event.

“It’s quite a challenge to play under the condition but I’m happy I pulled it off,” said Atthaya who will fly to South Korea for a tournament before returning to join the LET Thailand Championship which she won in 2017.
