Wichanee Meechai said she “saw ghosts every night” at the house she rented during the week of the US Golf Association’s major championship.

Initially, the house was rented by another Thai golfer, Pajaree Anannarukarn, who hoped to qualify for the 2024 US Women’s Open and thus enter the main event at the par-70 Lancaster course in Pennsylvania.

However, Anannarukarn failed to qualify, so she transferred the house to Meechai, who had enough points to enter the main event.

Meechai moved in and “met a ghost” on the first night. The golfer from Bangkok is a Buddhist and believes in the spiritual world.

When she saw the dark image, the manager offered to stay with her to help Meechai feel less scared. But Meechai refused because she wanted to overcome the obsession herself.

With such determination, Meechai gradually felt at peace in the following nights.

“I don’t deny the fear in that situation. But after a few recurrences, I feel better just doing my job quietly,” Meechai shared his mood and how to handle the problem, when contacting the media on June 1 after round three.

When round three ended, Meechai was in T1 at -5 with American Andrea Lee and Australian Lee Minjee. This lead was two strokes behind second-placed Japanese golfer Hinako Shibuno.

According to Golf Digest, the night before the final round, Lee went out with his family, Minjee read books and watched movies, and Meechai wore an amulet given to him by his mother.

But the next day, all three were in poor form, with Lee scoring +5, Minjee +8, and Meechai +7 for the final leg. The 2024 US Women’s Open concluded this morning, June 3, Hanoi time. In the results, Lee was in T3 (even par), Meechai T6 (+2), Minjee T9 (+3). The Cup and 2.4 million USD went to Yuka Saso -4, and the runner-up position went to Shibuno -1. The first and second place duo are both Japanese nationals.
