Thitikul’s Reaction to Defending the Mizuho
“It means the world,” said Thitikul of successfully defending at Mizuho. “It means a lot to me.”
The 23-year-old Thai star has nearly made $1 million in 2026 after two victories, winning the first on home soil at the Honda LPGA Thailand. Thitikul birdied the last hole at Mountain Ridge Country Club to win the Mizuho by four strokes over good friend Ruoning Yin.
