Back at Kingsmill, Ariya has put fear behind her

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. –Ariya Jutanugarn loves rollercoaster rides.

So does her sister, Moriya.

So after practicing Sunday for the Kingsmill Championship, they bolted to nearby Busch Gardens to have some fun on rides like Apollo’s Chariot, Tempesto and Verbolten.

“It was the perfect time,” Ariya said. “No lines.”

“We run into every ride,” Moriya said. “We’re never scared.”

Ariya couldn’t say that about her golf game a little more than a year ago.

Fear once ruled over her, and it infected her entire game. There were too many bad memories built up of her struggling to keep her driver in play and missing cuts.
