LOS ANGELES, California — Atthaya 'Jeeno' Thitikul birdied three of her last four holes on Friday (Saturday in Manila) to take a one-shot lead over another former world No. 1 Lydia Ko, at the US LPGA Queen City Championship in Ohio.
Thailand's Jeeno, who announced last month she preferred to be known by her longtime nickname, had seven birdies in her second straight six-under par 66 at TPC River's Bend, which is hosting the event near Cincinnati for the first time.
