"Wang became the seventh LPGA rookie to win this year, extending a remarkable streak of no multiple winners through the tour's first 23 tournaments of the year. "I hope this is the first of many, and I'll keep working hard," said Wang, the Chinese player who delivered the winning point when Duke won the NCAA team title in 2019. "This is a dream come true.""
"Thitikul, who took over the No. 1 ranking from Nelly Korda three weeks ago, was poised to end that streak and ruin Wang's hopes when the Thai hit wedge to 2 feet at No. 9 for her fifth birdie to go out in 31 on the TPC Boston and tie for the lead. Wang showed some nerves when she jabbed at a 3-foot birdie putt she missed on the par-5 12th."
Miranda Wang lost the lead to world No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul but finished with clutch shots over the final three holes to post a 2-under 70 and win by one shot. Wang became the seventh LPGA rookie victor this season, extending a streak of no multiple winners through the tour's first 23 events. Thitikul birdied the ninth to tie but faltered on the 17th, leading to a bogey. Wang rebounded with a birdie at 17 and parred the 18th to finish 20-under 268 while Thitikul shot 67.
