The world n ° 2 is making its debut in 2025 LPGA this week, although it has already found the winner’s circle this season. During the weekend, Thitikul won his 17th title in the world with a four-stroke victory at Pif Sadi Ladies International during the European Ladies Tower.
“Definitely gives more confidence because, as I said,” said Thitikul, “if everyone looks at my interview last week, I say that I don’t think my ball jump is so good. ‘That’s why I always want to work, which is what I’m focusing on this week too.
Thitikul will play alongside the good friend Ruoning Yin, currently classified n ° 4, during his first birthday round at Siam Country Club. Thitikul is one of the 12 Thai players on the field this week, including the defending champion Patty Tavatanakit.
The old n ° 1 Lilia Vu joined her former former n ° 1 Thitikul and Yin to make his debut in 2025 LPGA this week. VUE won its first LPGA title in Thailand in 2023, launching a season which led to two major championship victories and players of the year. Seen, 27 years old, admitted to having looked at Thitikul in all aspects of life despite several more years.
“I have the impression that (Jeeno) is always to have fun, to eat in good places,” said seen. “She has fun on the golf course. Her game is fantastic. Really not weakness. I think she is just a great person all around.”
Gianna Clemente, player of the year AJGA last year, is in competition this week on a sponsor exemption as an amateur.
