Jeeno Thitikul issues message on Instagram after winning the CME Group Tour Championship

Jeeno Thitikul has cemented her status as world number one after triumphing at the CME Group Tour Championship.

Thitikul has really impressed Nelly Korda, who was also in contention to win the season-ending event on the LPGA Tour.

But Korda continued her drought by finishing third at Tiburon Golf Club in Florida, confirming a winless season for the former world number one.

Current world number one Thitikul had no such issues in Florida, successfully defending her CME Group Tour Championship title with a score of 26-under.

“Huge thank you to CME Group Tour Championship, LPGA Tour, Tiburon Golf Club, all the sponsors, LPGA staff, volunteers for all your hard work in making this week possible.

“Also thank you to all my sponsors for your trust and believing in me. I’m so glad and proud to represent each one of you. Always thank you to my family and team for unconditional love and being my important support system.

“Lastly thank you to all my friends and fans for your encouragement during this long season. Off-season officially on and happy holidays to everyone.”
