Miyu Yamashita wins the LPGA Tour’s Maybank Championship, successfully defending her title by two strokes over China’s Yan Liu. The result follows Yamashita entering the final stretch as the defending champion, including a strong final round and an overall total of 22-under 266.
Coverage across outlets tracks her lead going into the final day. Some reports focus on her command during the weekend, highlighting Saturday’s performance and the size of her advantage before Sunday’s conclusion.
While most sources converge on the final outcome—Yamashita’s two-stroke victory and Yan Liu as the runner-up—some emphasise the momentum heading into the last round, framing the story as a hold-the-lead or in-command narrative rather than only the final scoring summary.
