A. Jutanugarn turns fear of failure into winning focus

SAMMAMISH, Wash. – Ariya Jutanugarn looks as strong as they come in the women’s game.

With her powerful turn and lash, she looks as if she could knock her tee shots over Mount Rainier at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship this week.

The naked eye, though, won’t allow you to see the real strength she exhibited rebuilding her game.

You can’t see all the might it took putting her confidence back together after a couple of epic failures and an unexpected injury.

May, that’s what family and friends call the 20-year-old from Thailand, isn’t riding the hottest winning streak in golf to Sahalee Country Club this week because she can hit 3-woods farther than most women hit drivers.
