Charley Hull of England earned her third LPGA Tour victory and her first since 2022 when World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul four-putted at the final hole of the Kroger Queen City Championship on Sunday in Hamilton, Ohio.
Hull tapped in for birdie at the par-5 18th hole at TPC River's Bend after her playing partner from Thailand botched her chance to win outright as well as her shot to forge a playoff.
Hull entered the day with a one-shot lead over Thitikul, but trailed her by one when they reached No. 18. In the end, they both signed for four-under-par 68s, leaving Hull the winner at 20 under.
Both Hull and Thitikul landed on the 18th green in two, and Thitikul lagged her first putt inside six feet of the cup. After Hull's eagle putt missed, Thitikul had a birdie putt to lock up the win but hammered it past the hole.
Thitikul had about four feet coming back for par, but it leaked right of the hole.
Once Thitikul cleaned up her bogey, it left Hull with a two-footer for birdie to pass her playing partner and collect the $300,000 (€255,660) championship cheque. Hull left the pin in and, once her ball dropped, showed the crowd how her hands were shaking.
"I wasn't really watching her putt for birdie because I thought she was gonna hole it," Hull said on the Golf Channel broadcast.
"And then, yeah, I guess it's not over until the fat lady sings, but I was shaking over that last putt because I just didn't expect it."
Hull, 29, is ranked eighth in the world but had yet to win a tournament this year. She won a Ladies European Tour event in Riyadh last November and finished runner-up at another LET event in Houston last week.
In third place was 21-year-old English phenomenon Lottie Woad and 2025 KPMG Women's Irish Open winner, who shot her best round of the week, a 66, to soar to 18 under.
Japan's Miyu Yamashita shot 69 and finished fourth at 17 under par. A seven-way tie for fifth at 15 under included World No. 2 Nelly Korda (70).
Ireland's Stephanie Meadow was not involved in the third round after missing the cut on Friday.
