Thailand ran the table at the Hanwha LifePlus International Crown, defeating Australia in the finals of the team event on Sunday afternoon at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco.

The team of Atthaya Thitikul, Patty Tavatanakit, and sisters Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn went 6–0–0 in the round-robin stage over the first three days. They lost only one individual match the entire week—one of the singles matches against the United States in the semifinal round Sunday morning—but it was just a brief speed bump en route to winning the nation’s first International Crown.
