Jeeno Thitikul’s Jeeno Tour Championship Win
Naples, Fla. – When the last supt of the lpga lpga season went down, the player who explained the campaign raised his arms and smiled. Jeeno Thitikul recently defended his CME Group Tour Championship title and put himself in the LPGA record books in the process.
World No. 1 entered the final round at Tiburon Golf Club with Holy Shot Ext by Nelly Korda and Pajaree Anannarukarn. Thitikul’s victory on Sunday felt inevitable. Even though Anannarukarn came within two there, there was no hesitation. When Thitikul bird Now 10 and Annanarukarn BOGEYED No. 12 Up forward, the salary returned to four, and the end of the war was between Titikul and history. She entered the day a score of decades behind Annika Sorenstam with the best average of a new year in LPGA history, needing to shoot three-under 69 or better in the final round to die at the age of 23.
He is 13 years old 13 to get to three under the round and pour in the last view on the last hole for a good rating, to finish with a rating of 68.681 to Top Sorenstam’s 2002 mark.
“Fame is like that,” Thitikul said of breaking Sorenstam’s record. “I mean, like I never dreamed of that record at all. I mean, like that’s really amazing [record] what I will have. “
‘Double-Edged Sword:’ Lopga’s Big Conundrum has no clear answer
The win was Thitikul’s third of the season and seventh of his career. While winning doesn’t tell the story of dominance, he is undoubtedly the top player of this LPGA era. He also finished the year first in wins, runner-ups, top 10s, strokes gained: birdie total or better percentage, bogey avoidance, 3 goals scored. He won the player of the year trophy and vore trophy for scoring average.
Thitikul has always been good, but the 2025 season, which culminates in the $4 million Winner’s Check on Sunday, has had its share of UPS and Downs. He found Korda as World No. 1 and won three times. But he also fell out of favor with Kim on the playoffs at Evian, with a costly late bogey to lose the FM Championship and the Kroger Queen City Town 42 Hole Championship.
It was the loss of the one in Cincinnati that defined the Titikul era – in the pain it brought, the decision revealed and the message, and the season was magnificent.
“I remember the day I came to Dallas after Kroger,” Thitikul said Sunday when asked if he will remember it as much in 2025. ”
He took a picture of himself with an icepack over his eyes so that the rock bottom moment won’t be lost when the top golfers arrive.
“I want to remind myself that the day you get there or the day like that day like your day, this day will definitely come.
Thitikul bounced back from the destruction in Cincinnati a few weeks later when he pulled off an incredible Sunday to win the Buick LPGA Shanghai, becoming the first winner of the LPGA. A month later, he arrived at Tiburon Golf Club ready for a long, grueling round of overtime.
After that, he went out and burned the design of Greg Norman to become the second player to win the wisdom of the tour fields behind the CME team and put a point of self-reliance in the season that has not yet exceeded the birdies and bogeys of the world 1.
“This year taught me to be humble, honestly,” Thitikul said before the tournament. “You know, like you’re there and definitely one day you won’t be. [It won’t] keep forever in my sure work. “
Nothing lasts forever. But Jeeno Thitikul’s 2025’s, the one that deviated on Sunday in Naples, will be remembered for some time.
