Miyu Yamashita has done it again. The Japanese star retained her Maybank Championship crown with a commanding 22-under total, putting the rest of the field to shame at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.
A closing 68 - five birdies against a single bogey - sealed the deal. Yamashita led from the second round onwards and never looked troubled. It was clinical, ruthless golf.
Yan Liu gave it her best shot with a final-round 68 but finished four strokes adrift at 18-under. Pauline Roussin-Bouchard and Thai amateur Marisa Tojai shared third at 17-under. Nobody got close enough to make Yamashita sweat.
This is now Yamashita's fifth career LPGA title - and remarkably, her third of this season alone. Victories at the Meijer LPGA Classic and CPKC Women's Open already cemented 2026 as a breakout campaign. This latest triumph simply confirms her dominance.
The LPGA Tour's Asian swing wraps up with the Toto Japan Classic at Omitama, outside Tokyo. On this form, nobody would dare bet against Yamashita on home soil.
