WOBURN, England – Talk about a winning smile.

Ariya Jutanugarn’s smile embodies the terrific story of how this broken player put herself back together again.

Though she looked like she was going to run away early with the Ricoh Women’s British Open Sunday, it was fitting she had to overcome another dose of adversity on another nerve-wracking back nine, that she had to overcome a final test of her resolve.

It was fitting she smiled through every daunting challenge this crazy day presented.

Jutanugarn started smiling as part of a new pre-shot routine after she collapsed in April at the ANA Inspiration, the season opening major.
