Jersey City, N.J. (AP) - Jeeno Thitikul gave strong winds and double bogey at the turn Saturday at the under 65-year-old under 7, which brought her to the final round of the Mizo Island American final at Celine Boutier.

Defending champion Nelly Korda missed two birdies in the last nine games of Liberty National and scored 68 with only two shots left as the number one player in women's golf earned his first win of the year.

The LPGA Tour raised several T-shirts to occupy strong enough wind energy to bend the flagpole, especially at the closing ceremony of Liberty National. This leads to some significant results when the player positiones himself as the last round.

Thitikul is the second-ranked player in the women's golf course and is one of the people who take advantage of it. She used the water on the right to hit the bird in pole 16, picked up another bird on the 17th, and completed it at a speed of 202 below 202.

"Today's strategy, I just want to keep it on the fairway and then on the green," Thitikul said. "I know it's going to be a really tough day and then I have to be there and be patient. So I don't know how I did it, but like I accepted it."

Boutier rolled a 40-foot birdie putt on the 15th, a reward for three consecutive birdies. She finished par in 18th, leaving her shot behind with 66.

“It’s a nice setup today,” Boutier said. “I feel like this is challenging in the wind, but the setting gives you a chance to have a good chance.”

Korda tried to keep pace with Thitikul and rolled a 15-foot birdie putt on the 14-14 Par-3 Par-3, which ran along the Hudson River across the Manhattan skyline. But she drove on the 16th and she had to settle down.

On her back, she perfectly judged her wedge as a birdie on the 17th, while her 15-foot birdie putt just stuck on the high side of the hole in 18th.

“You just have to dial the small goal and you have to focus on each shot 100 percent,” Korda said of the tough conditions, raining on Friday and in the rain on Saturday. "You know you're going to make mistakes. Had a pretty stable day."

Andrea Lee scored a third straight 68 shot and joined Corda at the age of 124 under 204.

Thitikul opened with 64, followed by 73, and rushed out through the door in the strongest wind. Her first nine birdies had four birdies until she fell into danger in 4 shots on the sixth and caused double bogey.

in spite of. She responded with two birdies to eliminate the mistake, and she started with three birdies in four holes, started nine holes and kept her backpacking lead with her two night birdies.

The Mizuho American Open starts Sunday and starts on the Internet TV (CBS) at 3 p.m. Although Boutier says this may present a different challenge, the wind is unlikely to be powerful.

"This should be a little less. I'm assuming the score will be a little lower, too." "We're going to see what happens, but it's nice to be in that position."
