Roussin-Bouchard Claims Top 10 at KPMG Championship; Thitikul Wins Buick LPGA in Playoff
Pauline Roussin-Bouchard secured her best PGA Tour finish since June, placing 10th at the KPMG Championship. Meanwhile, Jeeno Thitikul triumphed in a playoff to win the Buick LPGA, her second victory of the year and sixth overall.
Roussin-Bouchard's impressive performance at the KPMG Championship was a significant improvement from her 22nd place at the Buick LPGA. Despite facing challenges in the middle round, including two 'doubles' on the 9th and 10th holes, she managed to turn her game around.
The Buick LPGA tournament saw a thrilling finish as Jeeno Thitikul and Minami Katsu went into a playoff after tying at -24. Thitikul emerged victorious on the second extra hole, marking her second win in 2025 and sixth overall on the LPGA Tour. Defending champion Ruoning Yin, who won the Buick LPGA Shanghai in October 2025, was unable to retain her title. A pivotal moment in the KPMG Championship was Minami Katsu's remarkable birdie on the 17th hole, despite finding herself in the water earlier in the round.
Pauline Roussin-Bouchard's 10th place finish at the KPMG Championship signals a return to form. Jeeno Thitikul's playoff win at the Buick LPGA, her second victory of the year, further solidifies her status as a dominant force on the LPGA Tour.
