Jeeno Thitikul, a 22-year-old Thai golfer, will claim the world number one spot, overtaking Nelly Korda, who held the top position for 17 months. At the final tournament, the AIG Women's Open, Thitikul showed dominance by finishing with a total score of +1, two strokes ahead of Korda.
The American golfer had to finish above Thitikul to maintain the lead. However, her performance was not as impressive, and after 17 months, Korda will relinquish the top spot to someone else.
Korda finished the tournament as T36, with rounds of 70, 72, 72 and 75.
Before the start of the last tournament, Korda shared her emotions about the tournament, emphasizing the expectations of the public. The American golfer is not someone who wants to prove herself, given that she has shown for years behind us how dominant a figure and important link she is in the world of golf.
She has always been noted to play golf primarily out of love and passion, enjoying being on golf courses with famous names.
I feel like I dont really have anything more to prove to people, ever, Korda said. For me, its just Im passionate about the game. I love the game. I love playing in these kind of conditions, testing my game, and getting to play against the best players in the world.
Can Jeeno Thitikul maintain the top position in the long run?
Thitikul had previously held the position of world number 1, but only for two weeks. This great golfer will have more motivation this time, but it will be important to keep the rhythm in the coming weeks.
There are many questions above the fans' heads, such as whether the young golfer will be able to stay at the top of this road in the long run, or whether she will stay for a short time.
Time will tell, but it is clear that the Thai woman is currently the most dominant figure in women's golf, as her position in the world ranking shows.
