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 AIG Women’s Open was no longer in doubt. She closed with a 2-under 70 for a two-shot victory.

Japan’s Miyu Yamashita celebrated her 24th birthday, the petite Japanese star gave herself what she surely wanted most: a major victory.
