The Thai prodigy Atthaya Thitikul has an exceptionally bright future ahead. Helping her stay strong on the greens is her entire team, who have been her support system since she got into professional golf. In October 2022, she became the second youngest guest World No. 1 golfer at the age of 19.
Well, it is safe to say that her experienced looper, Banpot Bunpisansaree has been the key member of her entire team, helping her through all the accolades. She even gifted him a special award, which was a green bib ahead of the TOTO Japan Classic in 2022 to be appreciated for his hard work and understanding.
Atthaya Thitikul takes the caddie test with Banpot Bunpisansaree
Atthaya Thitikul and Bunpisansaree have such great linking going on in the field, and that is only for one reason. They have an amazing bond, both on and off the course. The recent test is a standing testament to it. The LPGA Tour took to their official Instagram account and shared a fun video of Atthaya Thitikul and her caddie on their wall. She was in a feature of the Who is Your Caddie series.
The video began with fun questions, and Bunpisansaree had to guess what answer Thitikul would be giving, standing behind and displaying it silently on a piece of paper. The first question asked was, “What is your favorite food?” The duo got it right, as the caddie wrote In and Out burger and the phenom stated the same.
When asked about the total number of birdies she had carded in 2023, she had no idea about the number. It came to her as a rather shock to know that she was ranked on No. 4 of the most-scored birdies list on the LPGA Tour. Well, Banpot too had answered it with a question mark on the sheet. Relieved to see how well her caddie knows her, Thitikul replied, “That’s good because I’m not going to fire him.” 😂
The level of faith and confidence the duo have in each other stands corrected why he is the most important member of the team. What are your thoughts about the bond between Atthaya Thitikul and Banpot Bunpisansaree? Let us know in the comments section below!
