Jeeno Thitikul successfully defended her Mizuho Americas Open title with a composed final-round performance at Mountain Ridge Country Club in New Jersey, closing with a three-under 69 to secure a four-shot victory.
The world No.2 finished the week at 13-under-par, comfortably clear of China’s Ruoning Yin after pulling away late in the final round with birdies on two of her final three holes.
Holding a two-shot advantage entering Sunday, Thitikul again showed the patience and consistency that have become the hallmark of her rise to the top of women’s golf. While several players mounted challenges throughout the day, the Thai star never relinquished control and played steady golf under pressure on a demanding Mountain Ridge layout.
Yin briefly narrowed the gap on the back nine before Thitikul responded in style, producing a clinical finish to claim her second LPGA Tour title of the season and the ninth of her career.
A group of players shared third place at eight-under-par, including Americans Alison Lee and Jenny Bae, South Korea’s Hye-Jin Choi and Mexico’s Gaby Lopez.
The victory also marked back-to-back wins for Thitikul at the Mizuho Americas Open, following her title in 2025 at Liberty National. The event shifted to Mountain Ridge Country Club this year, where windy conditions and firm greens provided a stern test throughout the week.
Thitikul’s latest triumph further strengthens her standing near the top of the women’s game heading into the heart of the LPGA season and adds more momentum ahead of the upcoming U.S. Women’s Open.
