Miyu Yamashita’s first trip to Canada was a successful one.
The 25-year-old from Japan won the CPKC Women’s Open in Edmonton on Sunday.
Yamashita claimed her fourth LPGA Tour victory and second this year with a dominating performance at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club.
She shot a 4-under-par 66 in Sunday’s fourth round to finish 23 under in the $2.75-million US tournament.
Leading by six strokes after three rounds, Yamashita won by nine over her countrywoman and runner-up Yuri Yoshida at 14 under.
“I’m really happy to win in Canada,” Yamashita said through an interpreter. “A lot of people came out to support me and I was able to enjoy playing today and then throughout the week.”
The four-foot-11 Yamashita took the Meijer LPGA Classic in June in Michigan after winning the Women’s British Open and Maybank Championship in 2025 to earn rookie of the year.
Yamashita became the fastest Japanese player to reach four LPGA wins and her four-day score of 257 in Edmonton tied the lowest all time on the LPGA Tour.

Vancouver’s Anna Huang posted a 5-under 65 to finish at 12-under par as the top Canadian in a tie for fourth.
Calgary’s Aphrodite Deng finished with a 69 to get to 11 under and tied for seventh. She was the low amateur in the tournament for a second straight year.
Two-time winner Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont., turned in an even par 70 in the final round to finish at 7 under in a tie for 13th.
“It’s amazing to see so many Maple Leafs at the top of the leaderboard,” Henderson said. “It’s really cool to see that and to be a part of it, and I feel like the future is really bright for the next few years.”
The 17-year-old Huang claimed her fourth European Tour win in 11 months in early August, and became the youngest to win four. She made the cut at the CPKC Women’s Open after two previous tries.
“It just means so much to me to be back home, play in front of home crowds,” Huang said. “I had a lot of fun this week and I gained a lot of valuable experience.
