Event: Women’s golf individial

Why her?

Having turned 18 this year, she is one of the youth sensations in this sport. She started playing golf when she was aged five. She finished  her amateur career as World No. 11 on World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR). She also also won multiple titles in her amateur career. She looks a really promising prospect for the future and one to look forward to. She has started the day-1 really well in Rio and hope she capitalizes it on successive days. Even if Rio medal is not hers, we can confidently say that Toyko medal will be hers.

Challenges

The burden of expectations is one thing that is too heavy to carry at the age of 18. Whether she can handle it well or succumb to pressure will be something that time will reveal.
