A dominance that goes down in history: Miyu Yamashita didn't just win the CPKC Women’s Open; she outclassed the field by nine strokes and tied the LPGA Tour's 72-hole scoring record. With an incredible score of 23-under 257, she concluded a week that is already legendary.
On the greens of Royal Mayfair, the Japanese player delivered one spectacular round after another. After a brilliant start with a 62, she followed with a 64, 65, and a final 66, cementing her status as a wire-to-wire winner and reminiscent of Sei Young Kim's performance. She claimed the victory, setting an absolute milestone.
Yamashita's Record Hunt Continues
This is no fluke, but the result of consistently strong performance. The CPKC Women's Open marks Yamashita's fourth LPGA title in just 13 months and is already her second triumph in 2026. She is the fastest Japanese player to achieve four LPGA wins – a true powerhouse on the tee.
Unchallenged at the Top
Even on a tough par-70 course where many struggled, she performed flawlessly. While her 23-under par isn't the best score relative to par in LPGA history, her 257 strokes represent a historic tie in absolute numbers. Yuri Yoshida, also from Japan, finished second at 14-under, while Anna Huang was the top Canadian – but the show clearly belonged to Yamashita. Her tournament record of 257 strokes, which significantly shattered the previous mark of 262, speaks volumes about this epic performance.
