Japanese golfer Shiho Kuwaki secured her first major championship by winning the Women's British Open on the second playoff hole. Kuwaki, who closed with a 1-under 70, held off a strong challenge from Germany's Esther Henseleit, who made a crucial error on the second extra hole. Henseleit had previously birdied the 18th hole to force a playoff but missed a critical putt, allowing Kuwaki to clinch the victory. This marks the second consecutive Women's British Open title for Japan, continuing the country's recent dominance in the tournament. Kuwaki, known for her fashion sense, joins a select group of Japanese players to win an LPGA major in the past three years.
