Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn has carved up and commands a unique niche in the Golfing landscape. That explains why this Golfer, who has oodles of talent, claimed a slice of history in the LPGA season.  After becoming the No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings, Ariya has set another new record.

She has won the Race to the CME Globe and the $1 million bonus that goes to that winner. She also won the Vare Trophy with a scoring average of 69.415, the LEADERS Top 10 competition with 17 top-10 finishes and the Money title at $2,667,983 and set single-season records in rounds in the 60s (57) and birdies (470).

Not too shabby. But the humble young player, as usual, deflected all the accolades in preference of the mental strides she has made over the last few years.

“Of course, I want to win the tournament. When you look at all the trophy, of course, I want to win everything if I can,” said Jutanugarn, who earned three victories in 2018. “But when I keep thinking about that it never helps me to get it. Since like last year when I start to thinking become world number, I try to win more tournament, it's getting worse all the time. So this year is mainly just to work on that. I achieve my goal this year a lot.”

"I'm really proud myself," said Jutanugarn, "because like first three rounds I can't play golf at all because thinking about everything too much.
