Jeeno Thitikul Wins Record $4 Million Title

Jeeno Thitikul won the CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Florida, capturing a groundbreaking $4 million prize, the largest in women's golf history. Tied with Angel Yin entering the final round, Thitikul shot a stellar 7-under 65, finishing at 22 under par, while Yin, who shot 66, ended just one shot behind at 21 under. The final holes were intensely competitive, with both players exchanging leads until Thitikul's eagle on the par-5 17th hole tied the game again.
