“It’s a Thai tournament.”
Pavarisa Yoktuan isn’t wrong. Along with her Team-World-War-3 comrade Wichanee Meechai, the Thai duo is in a tie for third at the halfway point of the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational. At 11-under overall, they are three shots back of leaders, fellow Thailand natives and their good friends, Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn.
“I don’t know, maybe we all feel more comfortable when we play together because we’re kind of close,” said Meechai.
“We hang out a lot,” Yoktuan added with a laugh. “Not just me and [Wichanee], like all Thai people. We have 10 Thai people here, and Dottie [Ardina] is Filipino but she’s like the No. 11. All of us like always hang out together. We all know each other and we feel comfortable with each other, so it’s good.”

Korda sisters team for share of LPGA Tour lead in Midland
July 15, 2021 GMT
MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) Nelly and Jessica Korda teamed to shoot a 5-under 65 in alternate-shot play Wednesday for a share of the first-round lead in the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational.
“I think our games are pretty similar,” Nelly Korda said. “We know each other really well, and I feel like we’re both aggressive. And it’s very soft out here this week, so you kind of have to be aggressive.”
Defending champions Cydney Clanton and Jasmine Suwannapura joined “Team Jelly” and Pajaree Anannarukarn-Aditi Ashok and Jillian Hollis-Lauren Stephenson atop the leaderboard at Midland Country Club. The teams will play best ball Thursday, alternate shot Friday and close with best ball Saturday.
