World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul captured the Buick LPGA Shanghai title Sunday in dramatic fashion. The 22-year-old rallied from four shots behind with five holes remaining.

Thitikul defeated Japan’s Minami Katsu on the fifth playoff hole at Qizhong Garden Golf Club. Her final-round 63 featured seven birdies and an eagle. This victory marked her second LPGA win of the 2025 season, earning $330,000.
