Jeeno Thitikul makes late charge to catch Angel Yin in the LPGA finale

Angel Yin was making putts from across the green and threatening to build a big lead until Jeeno Thitikul finished eagle-birdie for a 9-under 63 to share the lead Saturday going into the final round of the CME Group Tour Championship with $4 million on the line. Yin had a 69 after another day of big putts and one chip-in from some 60 feet for eagle on the par-5 sixth hole that put her comfortably ahead at Tiburon Golf Club. Thitikul seemed to be an afterthought until she lit it up on the back nine for a 30.
