Miyu Yamashita wins 2026 CPKC Women's Open

Overview

Miyu Yamashita secured a dominant wire-to-wire victory at the 2026 CPKC Women’s Open at Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton, Canada. The 25-year-old Japanese golfer finished with a total score of 23-under 257, winning by a nine-stroke margin. This performance tied the LPGA Tour’s 72-hole scoring record previously established by Sei Young Kim in 2018 and set new tournament records for the 36-hole and 54-hole totals.

Yamashita’s record-setting round sequence included a course-record 62 in the opening round, followed by scores of 64, 65, and 66. This victory marks Yamashita’s fourth LPGA Tour title, achieved across four different countries, and her second win of the season. Notably, this win represents the “fastest fourth win for a Japanese player in LPGA history” and moves her to third in the LPGA money rankings. Her performance also surpassed the previous CPKC Women’s Open tournament record of 262 set by Jin Young Ko in 2019.

The tournament resulted in a one-two finish for Japan, with Yuri Yoshida finishing in second place at 14-under par. This runner-up finish marked Yoshida’s career-best result on the U.S. tour, moving her from 93rd to 46th in the points standings, which secured her seed for next season and her entry into the Asia Series. South Korean player Sei Young Kim took third place at 13-under par, followed by American Gina Kim. Canadian players saw notable success, including 17-year-old Anna Huang, who tied for fourth at 12-under par, and 16-year-old amateur Aphrodite Deng, who concluded the tournament tied for seventh at 11-under par.

Beyond the competition, the event raised a record $4.95 million for heart healthcare in Alberta. The tournament also had implications for the U.S. Solheim Cup, as several qualifying spots were decided during the week.
