Miyu Yamashita Triumphs at Women's British Open

In a landmark achievement, Miyu Yamashita of Japan emerged victorious at the Women's British Open, marking her first major title win. Her stellar performance on Sunday held off a spirited comeback from Charley Hull, ensuring a two-shot advantage with a closing score of 2-under 70.

The competition intensified when Hull, who started the final round three strokes behind, closed the gap to one shot with a remarkable 20-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole. However, crucial errors on the 16th and 17th holes allowed Yamashita to maintain her lead.

This victory highlights the rising dominance of Japanese golfers, who have now secured four out of the last nine majors in women's golf, including Mao Saigo's triumph at the Chevron Championship earlier this year.
