PORTHCAWL, Wales — Miyu Yamashita of Japan captured her first major title Sunday when she withstood a charge by Charley Hull by not making a bogey until the outcome of the Women’s British Open was no longer in doubt. She closed with a 2-under 70 for a two-shot victory.

Heading into the week, foreign players had taken each of the previous eight LPGA Tour major championships, including three from Japan.

Miyu Yamashita produces an almost faultless final round to hold off England's Charley Hull and win the Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl.
