Yamashita wins CPKC Women's Open in Edmonton by nine strokes
The Japanese golfer's 23-under total at Royal Mayfair Golf Club tied the lowest four-round score in LPGA Tour history.
Miyu Yamashita won the CPKC Women's Open in Edmonton on Sunday, closing with a 4-under 66 to finish 23 under par at Royal Mayfair Golf Club in her first trip to Canada. The 25-year-old from Japan led by six strokes entering the final round and won by nine over countrywoman and runner-up Yuri Yoshida, who finished at 14 under in the US$2.75-million tournament.
It was Yamashita's fourth LPGA Tour victory and second of the year, following wins at the Women's British Open and Maybank Championship in 2025 and the Meijer LPGA Classic in June. She became the fastest Japanese player to reach four LPGA wins, and her 257 total tied the all-time lowest four-day score on tour.
Vancouver's Anna Huang, 17, was the top Canadian, shooting a 5-under 65 Sunday to finish 12 under in a tie for fourth. Calgary's Aphrodite Deng carded a 69 to finish 11 under, tied for seventh, earning low amateur honours for a second straight year. Both Huang and Deng's top-10 finishes qualify them for the LPGA's FM Championship starting Thursday at TPC Boston.
Two-time event winner Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., shot an even-par 70 in the final round to finish 7 under, tied for 13th. World No. 1 Nelly Korda finished 1 under for the tournament. The 2027 CPKC Women's Open will be held at Royal Ottawa Golf Club in Gatineau, Que.
