Thailand now claims the last two LPGA rookies of the year.
On Thursday, the LPGA announced Atthaya Thitikul, who recently became the No. 1 player in the world, won the 2022 Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year award.
The 19-year-old notched two victories this season — the JTBC Classic and the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship — and collected 14 total top-10s. In the Rookie of the Year standings, Thitikul holds an insurmountable 250-point lead over second-place Hye-Jin Choi, who withdrew from this week's Pelican Women’s Championship.
Thitikul is now the third Thai to win the award.
