MAINEVILLE, Ohio — Jeeno Thitikul had a rocky closing stretch but did enough to expand her lead over Hall of Famer Lydia Ko, finishing with a birdie for a 4-under 68 on Saturday and a two-shot advantage in the Kroger Queen City Championship.
“I have an 8-iron for the second shot into the par 5. I’m just like, ‘How can I have 8-iron on a par 5 and how can I drive like that?’” Thitikul said. “It’s definitely not my length. Just like bouncing or maybe just kick off really well.”Top-ranked Nelly Korda couldn't make a charge. She shot 69 and was part of a big group at 10 under.
“Every player who chasing for the leaderboard can go really low,” the Thai player said. “If you can make as much as birdie as you can and then just play your game, whatever it takes.” “I think all in all I’ve been really consistent with my ball-striking. The putting has been the most average part of my game this week. I’ve still been able to make crucial putts at the right time,” Ko said. “Sometimes when you do give yourself so many opportunities you feel like you’re not putting as well as actually you are, so I was just trying to not get down on myself.”
