Well, the victory will undoubtedly inspire Wannasaen to play better in future tournaments. It was a pivotal week for the young star as the win may also change her career in a big way.
The win changed everything for Wannasaen
Since getting her LPGA Tour card, the Thai golfer has competed in numerous tournaments. But regrettably, she frequently lacked a robust form. In more than 75% of them, she didn’t make the cut. Only three events — including the Portland Classic — saw her get to the weekend action.
Wannasaen had missed her previous eight cuts.
