World number one Jeeno Thitikul defended her title at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship by holding off fellow Thai Pajaree Anannarukarn by four shots.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old fired a four-under-par 68 to finish on 26 under in Florida and secure the $4m (\u00a33.1m) winner’s prize, along with the LPGA player of the year award and Vare Trophy for season low-scoring average.<\/p>\n

With her victory at Tiburon Golf Club, Thitikul became only the second player to win back-to-back LPGA Tour Championship titles – matching South Korea’s Ko Jin-young, who triumphed in 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n

“I love this golf course,” said Thitikul, who recovered from a wrist injury to play in the season finale. <\/p>\n

“Playing here in the last tournament of the year gives me really good energy.<\/p>\n

“Last week in Dallas, I was worried if I would be able to play this week. But I think that was the point, that I’m not thinking too much expecting things.<\/p>\n

“I was just like ‘I’ll be able to play’. That’s really good enough.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
