Tranlate this title LPGA, Jeeno Thitikul wins Portland Classic in spanish

Jeeno Thitikul staged a remarkable comeback on Sunday at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Portland, finishing with a 64 (-8) to win The Standard Portland Classic, her third LPGA Tour victory of the season and the 10th of her career. The 23-year-old Thai finished at 22-under par (68-67-67-64) and took home $300,000, approaching $20 million in career earnings. Thitikul birdied five straight in the opening round and resisted the pressure until the end. She led an all-Thai podium: Arpichaya Yubol (66-66-68-67) and Chanettee Wannasaen (69-68-67-63), who had the best score of the day, finished 21 points behind and shared second place. Sophia Schubert, the leader after 54 holes, had to settle for a 71 and a solitary fourth place finish. With this result, Thitikul became the eighth player to achieve at least 10 LPGA victories before turning 24 and joined Nelly Korda as the only three-time winners of the 2026 season.

Jeeno Thitikul, results

Benedetta Moresco performed well, finishing the tournament in 32nd place at nine points behind with scores of 67-69-74-69 (279 strokes). After two solid opening rounds, she faltered in the third round but recovered well on Sunday with a 69. Carolina Melgrati (68-73) failed to make the cut and missed the cut by just one stroke.

The Standard Portland Classic, one of the longest-running tournaments on the LPGA circuit, was played from August 13th to 16th on the Portland course. Thitikul dominated the final stage, once again confirming the strength of Thai women’s golf, placing five players in the top 10.

The LPGA Tour returns to Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Portland, Oregon, for The Standard Portland Classic, scheduled for August 13–16, 2026. It is one of the longest-running events on the women’s tour (excluding majors), a classic of the American summer season with a prize pool of $2 million and 500 points up for grabs in the Race to the CME Globe.

The course, a classic Pacific Northwest parkland designed by A.V. Macan and opened in 1925, measures approximately 6,500 yards and is a par 72. It is a layout that rewards precision, controlled approach, and feeling for putting rather than pure power, and is often appreciated by players for its playability. All eyes will be on defending champion Aki Iwai (No. 19 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings), fresh from her 2025 triumph at -24. The Japanese player will be looking to repeat her feat and will be joined by three other past champions: Moriya Jutanugarn (2024), Chanettee Wannasaen (2023), and Andrea Lee (2022).

The field is excellent. Nine players in the top 25 of the world rankings will be at the start, led by No. 2 Jeeno Thitikul, No. 3 Haeran Ryu, and No. 5 Lottie Woad. Completing the elite group are Ruoning Yin (8), Mao Saigo (16), Lauren Coughlin (17), Esther Henseleit (18), and Hye-Jin Choi (25). Seven of the 2026 LPGA Tour winners are in attendance, including Ryu herself (already a double major winner this year with The Amundi Evian Championship and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship), Jeeno Thitikul, Celine Boutier, Lottie Woad, Lauren Coughlin, Yana Wilson and Gina Kim.
