Jeeno Thitikul Wins PIF Saudi Ladies International
Jeeno Thitikul, the talented young golfer from Thailand, added another prestigious victory to her career by winning the PIF Saudi Ladies International in Riyadh, her 17th career win. Thitikul finished the tournament with an impressive total score of 16-under par after carding a final-round 69.
This victory was especially meaningful as it marked her season debut, and Thitikul expressed her joy, calling it “the best gift I have ever received in my life.” She admitted to being surprised by the win, given the long break she had before the season, and emphasized that this victory would give her a strong boost for the upcoming season.
Somi Lee finished in solo second place with a 12-under total, while Annabell Fuller claimed third at 11-under-par, with a score of 205.

This win comes just a few months after her historic victory at the LPGA Tour Championship last November, where she fired a 7-under 65 to secure a one-shot win and the largest top prize in women’s golf history, US$4 million.
