Overview

• Yamashita shot a composed 70 on Sunday to finish at 11-under par and win by two strokes, capturing her maiden major championship.
• Charley Hull and Minami Katsu each carded 69 in the final round to tie for second place at nine-under but were unable to overtake the leader.
• Hull’s five-birdie surge drew her within one shot before consecutive bogeys on the 16th and 17th holes ended her comeback bid.
• Kim A-lim reached eight-under after a bogey-free third round but was unable to sustain that momentum in the finale.
• Rain and strong coastal winds at Royal Porthcawl shaped scoring throughout the weekend and tested competitors’ shot-making on the links.
