South Korean Mi Hyang Lee holds a one-shot lead at 11 under par heading into the weekend at the Blue Bay LPGA in China. The veteran golfer posted a bogey-free 66 in windy conditions on Friday despite a lingering shoulder injury. Yu Liu of China trails closely at 10 under, while a field heavy with rookies adds unpredictability to the tournament.

World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul claimed her eighth career LPGA victory at the Honda LPGA Thailand, marking her first win in her home country. The 23-year-old Thai golfer finished at 24 under par, edging out Japan's Chizzy Iwai by one stroke. Thitikul's emotional triumph came with her mother watching in person for the first time.

World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul will make her debut at the LPGA's season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, joined by No. 2 Nelly Korda and past champion Lydia Ko. The field includes 39 players who won on tour in the past two seasons, marking a larger group than in recent years due to a record 29 winners in 2025. Several top-ranked players, including three Australians, will skip the event to begin their seasons in Asia.
