Pak won the championship

Pak won the championship, but Chuasiriporn captured the imagination of golf fans.

"I just remember the week after the Open, we were rooming together to play the Curtis Cup and there was all of this mail for Jenny shoved under our hotel room door," said Beth Bauer Grace, a former L.P.G.A. Tour player who was a Duke teammate of Chuasiriporn's. "Jenny never changed after that Open, but things in her life certainly did."

Chuasiriporn struggled at that Curtis Cup, and the attention followed her everywhere she went. It followed her to North Carolina when she returned to the Duke campus that fall. When she began to struggle on the golf course, the news media was there to document the errant shots.
