Sports League – The battle between the world’s top two golfers continues to heat up throughout 2016. This time, the Manulife LPGA Classic once again brings together Lydia Ko and Ariya Jutanugarn, who both have a combined 9 wins, including 2 majors, and 22 top 10 finishes in 37 matches.
In today’s first round, Jutanugarn will play alongside Brooke Henderson and Christie Kerr. Just behind this tough group is Lydia Ko who will play with Stacy Lewis and defending tournament champion Suzann Pettersen.
“When I see him play, or when I play with him on the court, I really feel an aura of great confidence, and that’s a good condition to compete,” Ko said, reacting to the match against Jutanugarn this time.
“I think it’s great that what he has done can have a big impact on the growth of golf in the Asian region, especially in Thailand, because Ariya has shown a different way of playing,” Ko continued. Indeed, Jutanugarn prefers to play without a club. In addition, Jutanugarn has a long-striking character, but he is also very good when playing with short shots.
“He’s a player with a very balanced combination,” Ko said.
Other than that, Jutanugarn considers this match to be the same as any other match he has played. He also doesn’t have a specific strategy to win this tournament. “I really want to be the best golfer in the world,” Jutanugarn said. “But more than that, I want to enjoy every moment I spend on the course. As long as I can enjoy playing golf, that’s enough for me.”
