Jutanugarn learned from NBA great in second round of Diamond Resorts TOC
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Ariya Jutanugarn, ranked No. 1 in Rolex Rankings, didn’t feel good about all the fairways and greens she missed Friday at the Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, but she had the luxury of having one of the NBA’s great sharpshooters alongside her for counsel.
She played with Ray Allen on Friday in the pro/celebrity format.
Though Jutanugarn hit just seven of 13 fairways and missed five greens, she scrambled to a 4-under-par 67, moving just two shots behind the leader, Brooke Henderson.
“It hit it everywhere,” Jutanugarn said. “I kept missing fairways and greens, but I’m at 4 under.”
