Jeeno Thitikul had the second win of her LPGA season in her grasp on Sunday at the Kroger Queen City Championship. Then, well, it all came apart for the World No. 1.
Thitikul and Charley Hull battled all weekend in Cincinnati. The lead yo-yoed back and forth between the two during the final round before Thitikul nudged ahead by one after Hull bogeyed No. 17.
But things unraveled for one of the LPGA’s best putters on the final hole. Thitikul reached the par-5 18th green in two, landing her second shot some 50 feet from the hole. She ran her eagle attempt five feet past the hole, but was still in good position to at least get to a playoff with Hull. Thitikul burned a lip with the birdie attempt and then pushed the four-foot par putt that would have secured a playoff with Hull.
