Japanese golfer Miyu Yamashita has equaled a prestigious LPGA Tour scoring record, finishing the CPKC Women’s Open at Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Canada with a commanding nine-stroke victory. The 25-year-old completed her final round with a four-under 66, bringing her 72-hole total to 23-under par and 257 strokes, matching the lowest four-round score in tour history.
Yamashita’s remarkable performance throughout the tournament saw her maintain control from start to finish, never allowing competitors to mount a serious challenge. Her closing birdie on the 18th hole capped off a dominant display, with fellow Japanese player Yuri Yoshida finishing second at 14-under par. This victory represents her second win of 2026, following an earlier triumph at the Meijer Classic in June.
The scoring record tied by Yamashita was previously set by South Korea’s Kim Sei-young at Thornberry Creek in 2018. Additionally, Yamashita’s winning total surpassed the CPKC Women’s Open tournament record of 262, which had stood since Ko Jin-young’s 2019 victory. This marks Yamashita’s fourth LPGA Tour title within just 13 months, solidifying her status as one of golf’s most exciting emerging talents.
