Tee Shot: Ariya Jutanugarn (โปรเม อัจฉริยะ/ต้อง/สร้าง)

On the 18th hole, she was leading by two strokes,

so close to victory,

that a dance troupe was preparing for a celebration

And the eyes of the nation watching on

and then you realize how tough this is.

And it stopped.

It stayed up there, but we've already seen how difficult it is

to stop the ball from all the way down there.

She knows now, she knows this is...

Get me a copy of the script, now.

...a spectacular chip

on the most delicate climb down this hill.

And the other thing she's got to do is compose herself.

Toh. Is the file ready? They are rushing me.

-It's nearly there. -Rendering?

Yes.

What is her name again?

Ariya "May" Jutanugarn.

-May... -Move. I will handle it.

MAY - ARIYA JUTANUGARN

-Save it. -Okay.

-Do it now. -Five minutes.

Has someone edited the script that she hit a hole-in-one on the 16th?

-I did. -Great.

Listen, as soon as she sinks this putt,

she'll become the first Thai person to win an LPGA tournament.

And because the tournament is in Pattaya,

this will be a historic home win for Thailand.

Ready? We're going on the air.

Quick!

Where is Nu?

The equation is simple,

to keep alive the dream of winning in front of the home crowd.

Oh!

Nu. Nu?

We're all set.

- What? - It was so close.

They were preparing to celebrate, but she finishes...

ARIYA JUTANUGARN

If you think this is just a golf movie...

That's my first reaction too.

In Thailand, who would give a damn about golf?

But what if I tell you that this is a story of an ordinary family

with two daughters in the top ten of the Women's World Golf Rankings?

And one of them is the world's number 1.

You might ask, "So what?"

What if I tell you

that the whole thing started from a crazy father?

So crazy that he thought he could turn his two girls

into world-class golfers.

Now you wonder how he could pull that off, right?

Let me tell you the whole story then.

10 YEARS BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT

The Thai flag and the Thai National Anthem

are symbols of Thailand.

May we all rise to pay respect to the flag.

Take pride in our independence

and in the sacrifice made by our Thai forefathers.

MO - MORIYA JUTANUGARN

MAY - ARIYA JUTANUGARN

The time is 8 a.m.

Good morning, sir. Can I have a moment with you?

DISCIPLINE, LEARNING...

Skipping the morning flag salute, attending class for half a day,

and no homework.

Don't you think that's too much to ask from the school?

I...

I mean, are you sure...

that this won't affect the development of your daughters?

Do you think I'll put my girls through 15 years of school

and they'll graduate...

and then what?

They'd study hard...

only to get a piece of paper then beg companies to give them jobs?

Do you seriously think I should let them go through that?

I'm talking about their education.

Girls their age need proper education.

It's important for them to have friends and join activities.

I only finished grade 4, but now I have my own business.

I definitely have more money in my bank account than you.

I'm training my daughters to be world-class golfers.

So...

I'll decide what's important for them and what's not.

Oh, I forbid them from eating sweets.

Keep an eye on them.

Stretch your legs.

The other one.

Enough.

Do 50 laps.

Don't cheat, or we'll start over. Go.

My shoelace, Dad.

Tie it.

SCHOOL

YAKOO ICE CREAM

Sis, I want an ice cream.

Me too.

But we have to report our expenses to Dad.

He will give us hell if he finds out we had ice cream.

May.

Ouch.

Hall, can I borrow some money? I want ice cream.

Who are you?

Just give me some money.

When will you return it?

Where did you get the money?

My treat. Just eat it.

A subject is followed by "do" or "does"

-or a helping verb plus "not" plus verb... -

May.

Remember, the winner is the one who can drive the longest.

Dad, I'm hungry.

One hundred more balls each.

Not counted if it's shorter than the last.

Faster!

Faster!

How are you, champs?

They're more like prisoners.

It must be so heavy.

I hate golf people!

What took you so long?

What happened?

The teacher didn't let them out.

Forget the teacher.

You ignored my instruction.

I said to come out at 12 p.m. sharp, didn't I?

The class wasn't finished. How could they come out?

We've already got special treatment.

Shit. Just do exactly what I tell you to.

Never break my rules.

They're just half an hour late.

You're talking back now?

They slack off because you're weak.

My rules aren't flexible.

Drill and discipline, get it?

I'm so goddamn tired. Don't be a dead weight, okay?

If either of you misses the flag, I will punish you both.

Get ready.

That's why your chips suck.

Move your legs.

Line them up with the target. Don't splay them. Close them.

Don't twist your palms when you follow through.

Eyes on the ball. Don't look up.

Mo, you too. Don't lob it too high.

Just hit it solid.

Try again.

Now.

Not like that.

In two weeks, I'll sign them up in a professional tournament.

Get them ready.

Are you out of your mind? They're children.

It'll take years before they can go pro.

You're such a loser. Come out of your shell!

Mom, did you tell him?

I'll have my birthday cake, right?

May won today. Can we have two?

I told him. He didn't say no.

Do you want your birthday cake?

Too bad. You threw the vegetables out of the car the other day.

This is the price you have to pay.

Move!

Faster!

That was how their amazing careers started.

The girls had beaten everyone in Thailand at such young ages.

But the amazing story didn't just end there.

The amazing story that started from their crazy father.

This was just the beginning.

Correct.

Sinking the ball in four strokes on a par-4 hole
