Charley Hull picked up her third LPGA Tour title by coming from behind to win the Kroger Queen City Championship.
A closing 68 at TPC River’s Bend put the Englishwoman in contention. She found herself trailing Jeeno Thitikul by one shot going into the last hole.
Thitikul then four-putted for bogey, while Hull birdied to seal her first tour victory since 2022.
The British star finished on 20-under after rounds of 68, 65, 67 and 68.
This win joins Hull’s previous LPGA Tour titles at the CME Group Tour Championship (2016) and The Ascendant LPGA benefiting Volunteers of America (2022).

Getting over the line was far from simple, and Hull did not hesitate to admit that.
After the win, she was asked what was going through her mind as she stood over the final putt and replied: “Yeah, it was only like a foot putt, but I think I was generally that shocked. And then I get a lot of adrenaline on the way round.
“I can cog down… say if it was like a 190 pin that would be a 5-iron; I could hit a 7-iron that far. And I feel like I was pretty calm coming into the green knew I had to hole the putt for eagle.
“Missed it and had a foot putt. When I realised I had it for the win I had this mad shock of adrenaline come through me and my hands were like shaking.
“I was like, oh, no. Usually I can calm it down in like five minutes but I had to play straightaway. I had to back off it twice.
“I don’t know how like Tiger Woods won that many tournaments, that much pressure. It was just a shock. If I knew it was to win coming up the hole, I think I would’ve been fine.
“I think I was just so shocked. Yeah, I holed it and it was good. Even though it was a foot putt, they feel like 10-footers.”

Tiger Woods has found himself in similar situations countless times throughout his extraordinary career.
The American has come out on top more often than not too, with an incredible tally of 82 PGA Tour wins and 15 major championships.
The ability to handle those moments is a skill in itself and one Tiger refined better than anyone else over time – though Hull can now claim she did something similar too.
Her triumph at Hamilton Township, though worthy of much praise, is perhaps predictable considering her recent performances.
Before the Kroger Queen City Championship, Hull had a strong showing, finishing tied for second at both the Aramco Houston Championship and the AIG Women’s Open.
