Jeeno Thitikul earns the first 25 win on Mizuho Americas Open

World no. 2 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand won the Mizuho Americas Open by four shots, and finished with a 3-under 69 on Sunday to secure her first win of the season in Jersey City, and NJ recorded her first LPGA title since the CME group championships in November. Ends at 17-under 271. “I have no idea how I can go there,” says Thitikul, who sank three birds in the final round for her fifth LPGA tour. “I mean, Bogey-free on the final round, also the final group, because the PIN positions were so difficult today. We got a lot of wind, and then many nerves and excitement for sure. ‘ Thitikul took home $ 450,000, which put her over $ 1 million for the season and was back in the lead for the race to CME Globe. Boutier, who entered the final round with one shot, has been looking for her first victory since winning four events in 2023, including back-to-back titles at the Evian Championships and the Scottish Open of Women and a play-off match over Thitikul during the Maybank Championship. However, the three bogeys of Boutier were expensive when she shot a proportional 72-PARI and was under 275 for the week 13. “Definitely a little disappointed with my endpoint today, but feel pretty happy where my game is,” Boutier said after her third top 10 final of the season. “Just have to adjust a few things before my next tournament, which is the US Open, so it is very encouraging to have a good result here about such a good tournament.” Andrea Lee (72 on Sunday) and Spain’s Carlota Ciganda, 70, finished in a draw at third place at 12-under 276. One shot behind them was the trio of the world no. 1 Nelly Korda (73)-who won the event last year with Yealimi Noh (72) and Australian Stephanie Kyriacou (67). “I’m very happy with where the game is,” Lee said after her second straight top 10 final. “Obviously, a little disappointing today. I just couldn’t get anything going. But I stayed very patiently, trying to stay positive, and I feel like I just played a good golf, but today couldn’t gain a momentum. But yes, in general only very satisfied. ‘ Korda remained winless in the year, but was within one shot of Thitikul until she spotted the Par-4-singing hole. At the back nine, Korda emerged because of a few bogeys and no birds. -Media on the field level
