Miyu Yamashita Ties the LPGA Scoring Record in a Nine-Shot Rout at the CPKC Women's Open

Miyu Yamashita did not so much win the CPKC Women’s Open as remove the rest of the field from the conversation entirely. She opened with a course-record 62 at Royal Mayfair Golf Club on Thursday, never surrendered the lead for a single hole across the four days that followed, and closed out a wire-to-wire victory at 23-under 257, nine clear of Yuri Yoshida in second. The winning total ties the LPGA Tour’s all-time 72-hole scoring record, a mark Sei Young Kim set at the 2018 Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic, and the nine-shot margin broke the tournament record by a wide berth, eclipsing Jin Young Ko’s winning score of 262 from 2019.
