SAMMAMISH, Wash. – You could call her Ariya Jutanugarn’s guardian angel.
Or her trusted guide.
Or just her big sister.
Moriya Jutanugarn has been all of those through Ariya’s emergence as the newest star in the women’s game.
With Ariya trying to win a fourth consecutive LPGA start at this week’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Moriya won’t be at her side the entire way. Moriya will be among the contingent at Sahalee Country Club trying to stop Ariya’s winning streak, but if she can’t, she’ll be in the wings rooting on Ariya as she always is.
