At the Mizuho Americas Open, Jeeno Thitikul showcased his skills by navigating the wind and a double bogey, achieving nine birdies on Saturday, which secured him a 65 (-7) and a one-stroke lead over Celine Boutier.<\/p>\n\n
Defending champion Nelly Korda, with a 68, is two strokes behind the leader, seeking her first victory of the year.<\/p>\n\n
The course was adapted to the strong wind, modifying the starting positions, which resulted in exciting finishes.<\/p>\n\n
Thitikul, the world number two, took advantage of the situation, accumulating birdies and finishing with a total of -14 (202).<\/p>\n\n
Today’s strategies, I tried to keep the ball in the fairway and then on the green. I know it will be a tough day and I will have to be patient. I don’t know how I did it, but I accept it.<\/p>Jeeno Thitikul<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Boutier, with a 40-foot birdie, strung together three consecutive birdies, finishing with a 66, one stroke behind the leader.<\/p>\n\n
It was a good game plan today. It was challenging with the wind, but the design allowed for opportunities if you hit it well.<\/p>Celine Boutier<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Korda, for his part, tried to keep the pace, but settled for par on the 16th hole. He finished with a birdie on the 17th and was close to achieving another on the 18th.<\/p>\n\n
You just have to focus on a small goal and be 100% focused on each shot. You know you’re going to make mistakes. I had a pretty solid day.<\/p>Nelly Korda<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Andrea Lee and Yealimi Noh also stood out, with 68 and 67 strokes respectively, placing themselves three strokes behind the leader.<\/p>\n\n
Thitikul, after a promising start, reacted to a double bogey with two birdies, maintaining her lead.<\/p>\n\n
On Sunday, the Mizuho Americas Open will shift its schedule to accommodate television, with a planned finish at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n\n
Less wind is expected. I assume the results will be lower. We’ll see what happens, but I’m happy to be in this position.<\/p>Celine Boutier<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
