Miyu Yamashita wins the Meijer LPGA Classic after beating England’s Lottie Woad in a playoff at Belmont, Michigan. The tournament finishes with both players level, sending the contest to a sudden-death format. Following a final round in which Yamashita posts a score of 64, she then defeats Woad on the first playoff hole. Reports describe a birdie sequence that decides the matchup, with Yamashita converting from close range after Woad misses a longer birdie attempt. The result means Woad falls just short of what would have been her third LPGA Tour title and also denies her a second win of the season. Multiple outlets characterize the playoff as a closely contested duel between rising stars. Overall, the coverage agrees that Yamashita’s final-round performance and her decisive birdie on the first playoff hole secure the victory at the Meijer LPGA Classic.
