Miyu Yamashita dominated the 2026 CPKC Women’s Open, finishing with a staggering 23-under 257 and securing victory by an unprecedented nine strokes. This remarkable achievement not only propelled her to the top of the LPGA leaderboard but also saw her tie the LPGA Tour’s all-time lowest 72-hole scoring record, originally set by Sei Young Kim in 2018.
Yamashita’s performance at Royal Mayfair Golf Club was a masterclass in consistency and precision. She set the tone on Thursday with a course-record 62 and continued her relentless pace with rounds of 64, 65, and 66. Leading the tournament from start to finish, she extended her lead each day, ultimately finishing nine strokes ahead of runner-up Yuri Yoshida. This margin not only underscored her dominance but also shattered the tournament record previously held by Jin Young Ko, who posted 262 in 2019.
How Miyu Yamashita Matched the All-Time LPGA Tour Record
The significance of Yamashita’s 23-under total lies in its rarity and precision. Matching the historic mark set by Sei Young Kim at the 2018 Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic, Yamashita’s achievement reflects a performance that few have ever approached. Her ability to maintain such a high level of play across four rounds, particularly on a challenging course, highlights her skill and poise under pressure.
This victory marks Yamashita’s fourth LPGA Tour title, each secured in a different country, demonstrating her adaptability and global competitive edge. Her commanding win at the CPKC Women’s Open not only advances her standing on the tour but also cements her reputation as one of the premier talents in women’s golf.

In addition to Yamashita’s record-breaking triumph, the tournament showcased emerging talent from Canada. Among the notable performances was that of Anna Huang, a Canadian teenager who finished tied for fourth at 12-under, earning recognition as one of the standout young players at the event. Her strong showing alongside other rising stars adds a compelling layer to this year’s competition.
