Yamashita’s record 63 holds off Kouskova in Korea

An eagle at 17 helps Miyu Yamashita finish 22 under, three clear of another player who matches the course record.

Miyu Yamashita shot a bogey-free, course-record 63 on Sunday to win the Aramco Korea Championship by three strokes, finishing at 22-under 266 at New Korea Country Club.

Sara Kouskova also shot 63, but her charge from three shots back left her second at 19 under. Yamashita answered that pressure with three birdies in four holes and an eagle on the par-five 17th, turning a close final round into her fourth victory of 2026.

The Ladies European Tour's official announcement confirmed Yamashita's victory in Seoul.

Yamashita had led since the halfway point after opening with rounds of 67 and 68, then adding another 68 on Saturday. She made birdies on the third, fifth, eighth and tenth holes in the final round before accelerating over the closing stretch. Her eagle at 17 followed birdies on that hole in each of the first three rounds, according to Golf Today's report.

Kouskova produced nine birdies in her own bogey-free finish. She birdied the first, third and fifth, added consecutive birdies at nine and ten, then picked up four more on the back nine. Her birdies at 17 and 18 set a clubhouse target that Yamashita ultimately beat.

Ginnie Ding and Yani Tseng tied for third at 16 under. Ding closed with a bogey-free 66 for her best LET result. Anna Morgan and Stephanie Bunque finished joint fifth at 14 under, with Morgan's final-round 65 moving her to the top of the tour's Rookie of the Year standings.

Irish Golfer reported that Sara Byrne closed with a 73 to finish tied for 30th at six under, after entering the day with a chance to secure full tour status for 2027 and a place in the season-ending event.

The victory was Yamashita's second LET title, following the 2025 AIG Women's Open. The tour next heads to the Hero Women's Indian Open, scheduled October 22-25 at DLF Golf & Country Club.
