Jeeno Thitikul Dominates the CME Group Tour Championship

Thai golfer Jeeno Thitikul, world number one, has starred in a masterful performance at the CME Group Tour Championship, solidifying her leading position with an impressive round of 64 strokes, eight under par. Thitikul, with a total of 22 under par, is on the verge of crowning a dream season on the LPGA Tour, where she has already secured the Player of the Year award and the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average.

The golfer has shown amazing consistency, accumulating 24 birdies in 54 holes and missing only five fairways and six greens. Her performance puts her in a privileged position to take home the $4 million prize. Nelly Korda and Pajaree Anannarukarn, both with a round of 65 strokes, will try to close the gap in the final round, but Thitikul’s six-stroke lead seems insurmountable. Thitikul’s strategy is based on precision and consistency: “Trying to go for the fairway, trying to find the best we can to get close to the pin and then make the putt. Simple strategy.” Sei Young Kim, who played in the final group with Thitikul, settled for a 68, finishing seven strokes behind the leader.
