Jeeno Thitikul makes it two Thai players in a row to win the PIF Saudi Ladies International after Patty Tavatanakit won in 2024, grabbing a dominant four-stroke victory.
Thitikul shut the door right off the bat, shooting -3 on the front nine and at one point taking a six-stroke lead. While she struggled on the back nine, it didn’t matter at that point. Thitikul shot even par on the back nine, with two birdies and two bogeys in the first five holes, but she finished with a solid four pars, where she avoided trouble.
Finishing in second place was the team champion Somi Lee, who shot a -2 70 in the final round, with a bogey early that mostly ended her chances. In third was Annabell Fuller, who had a disastrous front nine shooting +3, but recovered well, going -4 on the back nine.
Other notables included prominent LPGA Tour rookies Chisato Iwai and Ina Yoon, who finished in a tie for fourth, Nanna Koerstz Madsen, Ariya Jutanugarn and Charley Hull also finished in the top 10.
This makes two wins in a row for Jeeno Thitikul after her win at the CME Group Tour Championship in November. She will likely move into the top three of the Rolex Rankings with this win and will make her LPGA Tour season debut next week in her home country.
