The victory was Thitikul's third of the 2026 season and the 10th of her LPGA Tour career. Beginning the day two strokes behind overnight co-leaders Yubol and Sophia Schubert, Thitikul attacked immediately. She birdied the first, added another at the third and then rolled through four consecutive birdies from the third through the sixth. Her sharp iron play and hot putter carried her to six under through seven holes as Yubol repeatedly answered to keep the lead tied. Thitikul briefly lost momentum with a three-putt bogey at the ninth, but she responded like a champion. A superb recovery at the par-5 10th set up an eagle that returned her to the top, and she remained composed through the closing stretch. After a crucial par save at the 16th, Thitikul struck a precise approach into the 17th and converted the birdie that ultimately supplied the winning margin before closing with par at the 18th. Wannasaen produced the round of the day with a 9-under 63, matching the final-round score she shot when she won in Portland three years earlier. She poured in eight birdies through 15 holes, made three in a row during her back-nine charge and added another at the 17th to post 21-under. Yubol stayed with the pace after sharing the lead for much of the afternoon and signed for a 67, joining Wannasaen in a tie for second at 267. Schubert, who shared the 54-hole lead, closed with a 71 and finished alone in fourth at 17-under. Narin An, Pajaree Anannarukarn and Celine Boutier tied for fifth at 16-under, with Boutier finishing strongly with a 66. S. Vinijchaitham and Rose Zhang shared eighth at 15-under, while Chella Choi, Manon De Roey, Jiwon Jeon and Somi Lee completed the group tied for 10th at 14-under. Sunday became the low-scoring sprint Portland promised, but Thitikul's fast start, mid-round eagle and decisive birdie at the 17th separated her from two determined Thai challengers. Her closing 64 completed a four-round total of 266 and secured a one-shot victory in one of the season's most entertaining final-round shootouts.
