jeeno thitikul reached the final round of the Mizuho Americas Open with a two-stroke lead after the third round. She stood at 10 under par after a 70, with Celine Boutier two shots back and Hye-Jin Choi three behind.
Thitikul Stays Ahead At 10 Under
Thitikul’s third round ended with three birdies and one bogey, keeping her on top despite a field that kept tightening behind her. Through three rounds, she had 13 birdies, one eagle and five bogeys, a line that left her with room for error but not much comfort.
Boutier moved into second with a 67, helped by seven birdies in a row between the fourth and 16th holes. That push cut the gap to two, while Choi and Allisen Corpuz each shot 66 to stay in the chase.
Boutier And Choi Close In
The leaderboard crowded up fast behind the leader. Allisen Corpuz, Ruoning Yin and Hannah Green were four strokes back at six under par, giving the final round six golfers within four shots of the lead.
That group matters because every one of the players in contention was ranked in the top 24 of the Race to CME Globe standings, with Thitikul fourth entering Sunday. The race at the top of the board now sat inside a narrow margin, and the next 18 holes were set to decide whether the early separation held.
Sunday At 1:00 p.m. ET
The final round of the Mizuho Americas Open was scheduled for Sunday, May 10, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET, with coverage available on CBS. Thitikul will start with the lead, but Boutier’s late surge and the low rounds from Choi and Corpuz have already made the last day a direct test of the two-shot cushion.
