LPGA rookie Mimi Rhodes had an impressive start in her LPGA Tour debut, battling a world-class field to secure a tie for 10th at the HSBC Women's World Championship.

Closing the week with an even-par 72, Rhodes climbed two spots on the final day, proving she belongs among the elite. It was a poised performance for the 2025 LET Rookie of the Year, who entered the week as a sponsor invite.

Rhodes set the tone early in the tournament, carding a bogey-free 68 in the opening round. She entered the clubhouse just two strokes behind first-round leader Auston Kim and maintained her momentum with a second-round 69 and a third-round 73.

"On THE back nine today, just a bit disappointed on some holes. Let it slip away. But yeah, overall, good."

Rhodes is no stranger to the winner's circle. In 2025, she dominated the Ladies European Tour with three victories at the Dutch Ladies Open, the Joburg Ladies Open and the Ford Women's NSW Open. She's coming into the season as one of the rookies to watch, and she's excited for next week.

Beyond the competition, Rhodes expressed appreciation for the atmosphere in Singapore.
