Yuri Yoshida pulled off a stunning final-round comeback to win the BMW Ladies Championship at Pine Beach Golf Links. It's her first ever LPGA Tour title - and what a way to get it.
She began the day four shots adrift of overnight leader Haeran Ryu. That deficit didn't last long. An eagle at the par-5 second hole set the tone. Three consecutive birdies followed. The momentum was unmistakable.
Late bogeys at the 15th and 18th threatened to derail her charge. But a crucial birdie at the 17th kept her nose in front. She finished at 17-under, one stroke clear of the field.
Ryu's capitulation was remarkable. Holding a four-shot lead heading into Sunday, she managed nothing better than 15 straight pars before a damaging bogey at the 16th handed the initiative to Yoshida. She carded a final-round 73 to finish at 16-under.
It's the sort of collapse that will haunt her for some time.
Hye-Jin Choi, who started the round tied for second, also finished at 16-under. Four birdies were offset by a bogey. After 125 LPGA Tour starts without a win, the wait continues.
Defending champion Sei Young Kim shot 70 on Sunday. She tied for 55th at 2-under - a forgettable defence by any measure.
The LPGA Tour's Asian swing rolls on to the Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur next week, the third of four events in the series.
