Jeeno Thitikul delivered a masterclass in composure under pressure on Sunday, carding a 3-under 69 to claim the Mizuho Americas Open by four strokes over Ruoning Yin. The victory marks the Thai star's second LPGA Tour title of the year, adding to her growing reputation as one of the game's most clutch performers.
Entering the final round at Mountain Ridge with a two-shot cushion, Thitikul faced a fierce challenge from Yin, who stormed back from a four-shot deficit to close within one. But the tournament turned decisively on the par-3 16th hole. Thitikul calmly sank a birdie while Yin stumbled to a bogey, creating a two-shot swing that stretched the lead to three. A closing birdie on the 18th sealed the win in style.
Earlier this season, Thitikul also triumphed at the Honda LPGA Thailand, and this latest victory brings her career total to nine LPGA titles. Since joining the tour in 2022, she has now posted multiple wins in four different seasons—a remarkable feat that underscores her consistency and star power.
Meanwhile, playing partner Celine Boutier struggled early, recording three bogeys and no birdies on the front nine to drop out of contention. She finished tied for ninth after a 75.
For fans of the game, Thitikul's performance is a reminder of the thrilling drama that makes women's golf so compelling—and a great reason to gear up in your favorite LPGA-inspired apparel.
