Golf: Kuwaki Makes It Two-in-a-row For Japan At Women’s Open, Disappointment For Indians
American Yealimi Noh: Japan’s Shiho Kuwaki beat Esther Henseleit in a two-hole playoff to win the 50th edition of the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes near Lancashire in England. Her win meant a second straight win for Japan, as she emulated the 2025 champion Miyu Yamashita.
Kuwaki has been near the top of the leaderboard all week with an opening 66 (-5) followed by a 70 (-1) and a 73 (+2). On the final day, she held her nerve to shoot a round of 70 (-1), which included three birdies and two bogeys.
American Yealimi Noh, who led at the 54-hole mark, had a tough final day, carding a 74 (+3) to finish in solo third place on four-under-par.
