Jeeno Thitikul Just Said Something Shocking About Being World No.1

"I don't think I'm that good," said the top-ranked player in women's golf.

Taking the throne from Nelly Korda, 22-year-old Jeeno Thitikul has been playing like she's the best golfer in the world for much of the past year. So, what the hell did she mean by this statement she made during a pre-tournament press conference at the FM Championship?

To the young star's credit, she's as kind and as humble as one can be. Growing up, she dreamed of winning just one LPGA title—she's now in possession of five titles.

She continued to say, "Surviving here on LPGA...I'm just like, it's so many players that got talent and then I just—I swear that when I was young, I just thought about winning a tournament, just one tournament on the LPGA would be enough for me. But to hear where I am now, I don't know how I get it."

It's kind of refreshing to have someone with so much talent, sort of give credit to everyone else. As a kid, playing sports for most of my life, I was so used to my favorite athletes: Tiger, Kobe, Serena, having that killer mentality. They're the best, period. Nothing else but winning matters.

But Thitikul is taking a softer, more modest approach to her top-ranked reign and you have to respect it, too.

Though she won't say it herself, she's earned her rightful place at the top, because she's already there in some many of the LPGA Tour stats for the season—including scoring average (69.47), strokes gained total, top-10 finishes (9), percentage of rounds in the 60s (more than half of her rounds this season), putts per green in regulation, and she's tied for first in putts made over 15 feet.

She's currently T-3 at the FM Championship at TPC Boston, here's how you can watch this holiday weekend.
