DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – If everything had gone according to plan, Patty Tavatanakit would be in North Carolina this week preparing for two weeks of the LPGA Q-Series in her bid to earn status on the LPGA tour.
It didn't work out that way. It went much better.
That's why the 20-year-old Thai from UCLA is chasing her other hobby in New York. A foodie at heart, Tavatanakit has an Instagram account she calls ''eatunderpar'' and already has posts from Joe's Pizza, Liberty Bagels and The Big Szechuan Cuisine.
She had reason to celebrate.
