Jeeno-inspired aspiring trio to lead Thai charge in China

Aspiring Thai golfers Kan Bunnabodee, Sherman Santiwiwattanaphong and Onkanok Soisuwan will spearhead Thailand’s challenge at the Women’s China Open from Oct 17-19, with hopes of following in the footsteps of World No.1 and compatriot, Jeeno Thitikul.

Thailand's Kan Bunnabodee turned professional last season.

The trio will be part of a strong Thai contingent eyeing success at the China LPG Tour’s flagship event, which will be staged for the first time in Shanghai at the famed Enhance Anting Golf Club.

Kan, 23, turned professional last season after spending five years at Purdue University in the US, and the former national teammate of Jeeno has already enjoyed a breakthrough on the China LPG Tour after winning the Qualifying School in 2024 and recording multiple top-10 finishes.

"Seeing her success on the LPGA Tour, I'm really proud of her," Kan said of Jeeno, whose rise to fame includes five wins each on the LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour.
