Miyu Yamashita of Japan has captured her third LPGA title in dramatic fashion, overcoming a five-stroke deficit to win the Meijer LPGA Classic after a heartbreaking miss by England's Lottie Woad on the final hole. The 24-year-old Japanese golfer fired a spectacular final-round 64 at Blythefield Country Club in Belmont, Michigan, setting up a playoff before sinking a birdie putt on the first extra hole to claim victory. The dramatic finish saw Woad, the 22-year-old world number seven, have a four-foot putt for victory lip out on the 18th hole, forcing a playoff that Yamashita would win decisively. Woad had earlier produced a stunning sand save at the par-four 17th, holing out for birdie from a bunker to momentarily take the lead at 18 under par. Despite starting the day five strokes behind the leaders, Yamashita birdied five of her first seven holes to charge into contention. The victory marks a significant milestone for Yamashita, currently ranked world number eight, who becomes only the second player this season to win multiple LPGA titles. Her comeback from five strokes back demonstrates the dramatic momentum shifts possible in professional golf, while Woad's near-miss marks the second time this season the young English star has finished runner-up. The tournament showcased strong international competition, with players from Japan, England, Chinese Taipei, China, Korea, and Australia filling the top positions on the leaderboard. Yamashita's winning putt on the replayed 18th hole sealed what will be remembered as one of the more thrilling finishes of the LPGA season.
