Earlier in April this year, the host of a champion’s dinner, Scottie Scheffler, came under some fire. He served tortilla soup to the guests, and they thought he was trying to kill them. In Scottie’s defense, he did not make the soup himself, but many disliked the taste. But this is not a soup-recipe article. It sure is, though, about soup.

Recently, a famous LPGA player talked about what makes soup tasty while simultaneously talking about her form and game. Perhaps Scheffler, consistent but not many trophies to speak of in recent months, can take tips from her? Let’s find out more.

A rising star amongst this is Patty Tavatanakit, who has been the talk of the town since her fantastic performance at the ongoing tournament.

The player turned pro in 2020 and has one major feat already under her name. Now she is on her way to bagging another. The LPGA Tour’s official Instagram handle posted a picture of Patty Tavatanakit with the caption, “The golf game is coming together for Patty Tavatanakit. Almost like a good soup.”

It stems from what she said about her game at The Amundi Evian Championship. “But overall, you keep adding things to your recipe, and it’s pretty good right now. Like the soup tastes good right now.” Patty is off to a strong start. She opened with a 2-under 69 on Thursday and backed it with a 4-under 67 on Friday.

No one can tell if it is about her game or her ability to put things in perspective but this fan is impressed with Patty Tavatanakit. “Protect this woman at all costs. She gets it.” 

UCLA Women’s Golf, Patty’s former golf team’s official Instagram account, also commented on the picture with some happy emoticons. Another fan validated Patty’s comments, “She had a great day today.” And one is wishing for her, “Hope she wins.” 

How can someone from her home country not respond? “I might be one of a few, but always rooting for you. Keep having fun with your game, and being happy with yourself. Cheers from Thailand!!!!”
