🚨 5 MINUTES AGO: Shocking Golf Scandal – Jeeno Thitikul Accuses Charley Hull and Referee of Cheating at Kroger Queen City Championship 2025!
The golf world has been rocked by an unprecedented controversy just moments after the dust settled on the 2025 Kroger Queen City Championship at TPC River’s Bend in Cincinnati, Ohio. World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul, still reeling from her heartbreaking four-putt meltdown on the 18th green that handed victory to England’s Charley Hull, has stunned fans by presenting explosive evidence accusing both Hull and the tournament referee of outright cheating. The accusation, dropped in a fiery post-match press conference, has ignited a firestorm across social media and beyond, threatening to overshadow Hull’s dramatic third LPGA Tour win.
It was supposed to be a tale of triumph and collapse: Hull, entering the final round with a one-shot lead over Thitikul, extended it to two by the turn with a blistering run of birdies. But Thitikul, the unflappable Thai phenom seeking her third win of the season, clawed back with birdies of her own, seizing the solo lead on the 14th hole before a tense back-and-forth on the closing holes. Both players closed with 4-under 68s, setting up a nail-biting finish on the 72nd green. Thitikul, poised for eagle, lined up what should have been a routine two-putt from 15 feet—only to four-putt disastrously, lipping out twice before finally holing it for bogey, allowing Hull to sink a short birdie and claim the tournament-record 20-under 268 total by a single stroke.
But in a bombshell twist, Thitikul refused to accept the loss quietly. Just five minutes ago, as cameras rolled in the media room, the 22-year-old pulled out her phone and displayed grainy slow-motion video footage from the 18th green, zooming in on Hull’s crucial birdie putt. “Look at this!” Thitikul declared, her voice trembling with fury. “Charley’s ball didn’t roll true—watch the referee’s foot. He nudged the mark on the green just as she was about to stroke it. And Charley? She knew. She saw it and said nothing. This isn’t golf; this is cheating!” The clip, now circulating wildly on X and TikTok, appears to show a subtle movement from the referee—perhaps unintentional, perhaps not—altering the green’s contour milliseconds before Hull’s putt, which then trickled in for the winning birdie.
The accusation has sent shockwaves through the LPGA Tour, with Hull’s camp yet to respond. Sources close to the English star insist the footage is inconclusive and “a desperate grasp at excuses from a sore loser,” but the damage is done. #ThitikulExposed and #HullCheat are exploding online, with fans divided: some rallying behind Thitikul’s call for a full investigation, others defending Hull’s grit and labeling the claims “sour grapes” after her own collapse. “Jeeno’s meltdown was epic, but this? This is next-level drama,” one viral tweet read, amassing over 50,000 likes in minutes.
LPGA officials have already convened an emergency review board, promising a thorough probe into the footage and witness statements. Thitikul, who pocketed $246,000 for second place despite the win slipping away, didn’t hold back: “I respect Charley as a player, but not like this. The referee? He owes the game an apology. Golf is about integrity—today, that was stolen from me.” Hull, beaming with her trophy just an hour ago, now faces the possibility of disqualification and a lifetime stain on her record if the claims hold water.
As the golf community holds its breath, this scandal could redefine sportsmanship on the LPGA Tour. Was it a tragic error, a conspiratorial fix, or Thitikul’s bid for redemption? One thing’s certain: the Queen City Championship 2025 won’t be forgotten for the winner—but for the war that’s just begun. Stay tuned as investigations unfold.
