In a historic display of skill and composure, 24-year-old Miyu Yamashita claimed her first major championship at the 2025 AIG Women’s British Open at Royal Porthcawl Golf Club.
Finishing at 11-under par, the Osaka native showcased the precision and steady temperament that have become her trademarks.
While local favorite Charley Hull ignited the home crowd with an aggressive performance, Yamashita’s consistent scrambling and clutch putting kept her ahead.
Although Hull pressed hard early on, late bogeys cleared the path for Yamashita to secure a comfortable victory, finishing two strokes clear of the field.
Known more for her impeccable accuracy and high green-in-regulation percentages than raw distance, Yamashita proved that tactical brilliance can overcome the toughest links challenges.
