"I had no idea I'm going to be this far" - Jeeno Thitikul
Jeeno Thitikul joined the LPGA Tour in 2022. In such a short period, she has already won five titles and is currently the World No. 2.
After her victory at the Mizuho Americas Open this week, she was asked in the press interview if she ever thought she would reach this far so quickly and what she felt now that she has. The Thai golfer answered via ASAP Text:
"Well, I think when I was a kid wanting to play on the LPGA Tour, I just told my dad, and my dad just told me, winning on the LPGA Tour once, it's good enough. I always tell myself, yeah, actually two. I joined the Tour in 2022 and then get the first win maybe my fifth start from the beginning of the season, and then get my first win was just really a dream come true. But I had no idea I'm going to be this far for sure."
Thitikul further mentioned that she just tried to do her "part" and worked on improving herself every day. The 22-year-old added that her "real win" is the "people" around her. She added:
"If I do my job, either get the win or not really, how many wins that I have, holes in my belt, I just set it down beside me,"
Thitikul had entered the Liberty National Golf Club as the favorite to win alongside defending champion Nelly Korda and lived up to the expectations.
