There was a young girl in a wheelchair waiting outside the scorers’ portacabin at the 2019 HSBC Women’s World championship in Singapore. One player after another paused to sign an autograph for the child, and then came Thailand’s Moriya Jutanugarn, sister of the 2016 Women’s British Open champion, Ariya.
When Moriya saw the girl, she came to a full-stop and switched to a squat position, the better to engage in friendly conversation. And there she stayed for several minutes, chatting quietly away to her companion. If you’ve ever met Moriya, you will know that she was simply being her usual Thai self.
