LPGA Rookie Miyu Yamashita Stuns Field With 8-Shot Comeback to Win Maybank Championship

Japan’s Miyu Yamashita erased an eight-shot deficit to win the Maybank Championship, matching the LPGA’s second-biggest comeback since 1980. The 24-year-old fired a bogey-free 65, then sank a 20-foot birdie in a playoff over H.J. Choi and Hannah Green. Already a Women’s Open champion, Yamashita became the first rookie since 2022 to win twice.
