No.1 Jeeno seeks first major win at LPGA Chevron event
Top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand seeks her first major victory at the LPGA Chevron Championship (David Becker) Top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand seeks her first major title while Australian Hannah Green hopes to extend her hot streak when the LPGA Chevron Championship tees off on Thursday. The year's first major women's tournament moves to a new home at Houston's Memorial Park, which will be tested by the world's top players. Jeeno won her eighth career LPGA title in February in Thailand but skipped last week's Los Angeles LPGA event to work on her game.
"That one thought of swing it was -- I don't have it," she said. "That's why I can't control my ball as much as possible. It just lost the feelings.
You don't know where the ball is going to go. "I had to work on things. I feel like one week working wasn't enough and then I feel like my iron game was not on track that I want.
I feel like we're getting there. " Jeeno, 23, seeks her first major title after several near-misses. She has nine top-10 major finishes without a victory, at least one in all five majors.
"You want to be in contention," Jeeno said. "If you were in contention every week, you saw your name on the top in every week, which means your game was there and just matter of time. " Her best major result was a runner-up effort in last year's Evian Championship, while her best Chevron finish was a share of fourth in 2023.
