TOKYO: Patty Tavatanakit and Ariya Jutanugarn will be bidding to add medals to Thailand’s meagre tally when the women’s golf tournament at the Tokyo Games begins on Wednesday at Kasumigaseki Country Club.
Major winners Ariya and Patty, whose Thai name is Paphangkorn, are among medal contenders in the 60-player field.
They are the Kingdom’s last medal hopes at Tokyo 2020 which ends on Sunday.
So far, Thailand have won only two medals since the Games started on July 23, from taekwondo champion Panipak Wongpattanakit and boxer Sudaporn Seesondee who is assured of a bronze after reaching the semi-finals yesterday.
While Patty is making her Olympic debut, it is Ariya’s second appearance…
