Open Extended ReactionsPORTHCAWL, Wales -- Miyu Yamashita of Japan captured her first major title Sunday when she withstood a charge from Charley Hull by not making a bogey until the outcome of the Women's Open Championship was no longer in doubt.
Yamashita closed with a 2-under 70 for a two-shot victory, holing two big par putts on the back nine at Royal Porthcawl -- the last one when Hull had closed to within one shot of the lead.
But the English star hit into a pot bunker off the tee at the 16th and did well to make bogey.
Japanese players now have won four of the past nine majors in women's golf.
Mao Saigo won the first major of the year at the Chevron Championship.
