It’s officially the “Year of the Smile” in women’s golf.
If Rolex world No. 1 Lydia Ko leads the LPGA in smiles, Chun is a close second with Ariya Jutanugarn not far behind.
In fact, Jutanugarn may have become the first player to turn a smile into a practical device this year. She integrated a smile into her pre-shot routine back in April. She didn’t begin her tour best run of five victories this season until she began using a smile as a trigger to remind her to slow down and be confident before stepping over a shot.
