The fact she won an Olympic medal seems to have been forgotten after she finished the LPGA season empty-handed on Monday. She achieved her 2016 goal in August and then that medal seemed to weigh her down for the rest of the season. The long season and fact she'd achieved her goal of the year in August were starting to affect her game. Jutanugarn seemed out of contention after the second round but was11 shots better than Ko over the weekend. The year that he either didn't win a major championship or didn't win player of the year title, through that period of time there wasn't many occasions where one of those two things didn't happen, it was seen as though it was a lesser year.
