Before competing in the 2024 Olympic Games, Paphangkorn just finished 3rd in the major The Amundi Evian Championship in France as well, which gave her a lot of confidence before competing in the big competition in the "Paris Games 2024". This will be Patty's second Olympic Games. The first was in 2020, when Paphangkorn finished in 23rd place. With her consistent performance this year, Patty's world ranking has increased from 73rd to 19th this year.
