Jeeno Thitikul birdied the 72nd hole Sunday to win the CME Group Tour Championship and earn the largest check in LPGA history.
Thitikul made a 5-foot putt on the final hole at Tiburon Golf Club to beat Angel Yin by a shot and collect the $4 million first-place prize.
The putt was set up by a gorgeous approach shot into 18th green.
And all this came on the heels of an eagle at the par-5 17th. Thitikul was trailing Yin by two shots when she drew even with this putt.
Thitikul shot 7-under 65 to Yin’s 66 in the final round to finish one shot clear at 22 under.
