Jeeno Thitikul Seals Flawless Victory at 2025 Mizuho Americas Open

A Bogey-Free Final Round Propels the Thai Star to Her First Win of the Season

🔥 A Dominant Display at Liberty National

In a week where the world’s eyes were on Liberty National Golf Club, Jeeno Thitikul delivered a masterclass. The 21-year-old Thai phenom played bogey-free golf over the final 36 holes to capture the 2025 Mizuho Americas Open, outshining a star-studded field and snapping Nelly Korda’s dominant LPGA streak. It marks Thitikul’s first win of the year, and her first since 2022 — a clear signal that one of golf’s brightest young talents is once again peaking at the right time.

🚨 Key Moments & Player Highlights

Thitikul’s performance was nothing short of surgical. Over four rounds, she carded scores of 68-69-67-68 for a 16-under-par total, holding off all challengers with nerves of steel.

“I stayed patient and trusted every shot,” Thitikul said in her winner’s interview via NBC Sports. “I knew I had to focus on my own game and not the leaderboard.”

Her bogey-free weekend included 34 one-putts and a lights-out putting average that ranked among the field’s best. Notably, her final-round birdies at 7, 10, and 13 created just enough separation on a crowded Sunday leaderboard.

🎯 Jeeno’s Championship Form

What defined Thitikul’s victory was her consistency and calm, especially on Liberty National’s tougher closing stretch. According to Golf Monthly, her approach shots ranked among the most precise all week, gaining strokes on the field both off the tee and with her irons.

She also tied for the tournament lead in scrambling, successfully saving par on all missed greens over the final 36 holes — a remarkable feat under major tournament pressure.

💥 Contenders Who Made It Close

While Thitikul remained in control, several stars pushed the pace.

• Nelly Korda, the World No. 1, began Sunday just one shot back but stumbled early with three bogeys on her front nine. Her streak of consecutive LPGA wins ends at five.
• Ayaka Furue and Hannah Green both made late charges but couldn’t close the gap, finishing T2 at -13.
• Rose Zhang, the defending champion, finished a respectable T9 after struggling on the greens.

🌍 Impact on the Golf World

Thitikul’s win is a major moment for Thai golf and a statement for the global reach of the LPGA Tour. The 2022 LPGA Rookie of the Year has battled through form fluctuations and injuries, but her resurgence is now undeniable. As reported by The Nation Thailand, her win has sparked widespread celebration across Thailand, where she’s long been seen as a national sports hero.

Meanwhile, the victory reshuffles the Rolex Rankings, with Thitikul projected to climb back inside the world’s top 5.

🎉 Fan Experience & Tournament Atmosphere

The 2025 edition of the Mizuho Americas Open once again proved why Liberty National is one of the most scenic and fan-friendly venues in golf. Record crowds lined the Hudson River and New York skyline to watch the world’s best, with LiveMint describing the fan energy as “electric from the opening tee shot.” The event also showcased rising amateurs in its unique junior-invitational format — a bridge between the future of women’s golf and the present elite.

🔮 What’s Next for Thitikul?

Jeeno Thitikul’s next test will come quickly, with the U.S. Women’s Open just weeks away. And if her form in New Jersey is any indication, she’ll be a serious contender at Lancaster Country Club.

The SBNation recap puts it simply: “She’s found something — and the rest of the field should take notice.”

Thitikul’s latest triumph isn’t just a comeback story — it’s a warning shot to the LPGA elite: she’s back, better, and hungrier than ever.
