Le/formateur, Korda Miss Out
While Thitikul eased to victory, Céline Boutier put up a gallant fight, Victorian by a stroke, giving Thitikul her toughest challenge of the day. The Frenchwoman’s hopes faded with a missed putt on the 15th and a final-round struggle.
Nelly Korda, the world number one, began her final round strongly but an errant tee shot on the 9th, along with two bogeys on the back nine, ended her chances of victory.
