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.
