» Playing a real-life professional athlete onscreen is a challenging task. But it is one that actress Krissiri Sukhsvasti has embraced. In a new sports biopic hitting Thai cinemas next week, Krissiri portrays golfer Ariya "May" Jutanugarn, the celebrated Thai sports star who reached No.1 in the Women's World Golf Rankings in 2017. The film, Ariya Jutanugarn or Pro May, Atchariya Tong Sarng (Pro May, Genius Must Be Built) in Thai, follows the life of Ariya from her childhood to the pinnacle of world golf.
