"Always a great learning experience" - Jeeno Thitikul sums up AIG Women's Open outing with emoji

Following an average outing at the AIG Women's Open 2025, Jeeno Thitikul summed up her week with an “exhausted” emoji. In her latest Instagram post, she wrote that it was a great learning experience to play at Royal Porthcawl.

Thitikul entered Royal Porthcawl last week as one of the favorites to win the AIG Women's Open. However, over the four days, she carded rounds of 70, 73, 72, and 74 to eventually finish T30. She aggregated at 1-over for the tournament and finished 12 strokes behind the winner.

On Monday, August 4, Thitikul shared a few photos from the AIG Women’s Open week on Instagram and reflected on her outing.

"Last major off the year been like 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 Always a great learning experience play with the 💨 at AIG Womens Open Lots of positive to take from but also lots plenty room for improvement 💪🏻," she wrote.

Following the AIG Women's Open, Jeeno Thitikul has ended Nelly Korda’s 71-week reign as World No. 1. The Thai star returned to the top of the Rolex Women's Golf Rankings after three years.

Last year, Nelly Korda had her best season, during which she claimed seven victories, which helped her stay at the top of the rankings for almost 17 months. However, this year was a contrast, as she failed to win even once.

On the other hand, Thitikul continued ascending with her consistent run and also went on to win the Mizuho Americas Open and PIF Saudi International this year.

The 22-year-old LPGA Tour star has been super consistent this year and has missed just one cut so far in fourteen starts. Besides, she has made a whopping eight top-ten finishes and hasn’t finished worse than T30.

Here's a look at Jeeno Thitikul's performance this year:
