Miyu Yamashita fires a record-tying 63 to win the 2026 Aramco Korea Championship by three strokes, capturing her fourth victory of the year in dominant fashion.

Miyu Yamashita is making a convincing case as one of the most dangerous players in women's professional golf, and her latest performance left little room for argument.

The 25-year-old Japanese star captured the 2026 Aramco Korea Championship on Sunday with a spectacular, bogey-free, 9-under-par 63 at New Korea Country Club, finishing at 22-under 266 to claim a three-stroke victory over Sara Kouskova.

It was Yamashita's fourth worldwide victory of 2026 and her second career Ladies European Tour title, adding another trophy to a growing collection that includes the 2025 AIG Women's Open.

And she didn't exactly stumble across the finish line.

Yamashita, ranked fifth in the world, entered Sunday with a one-shot advantage and wasted little time extending it. Birdies at the third, fifth, eighth and 10th holes established her position before an impressive finishing stretch removed any remaining doubt.

Three birdies over four holes late in the round were followed by an eagle at the par-5 17th, highlighting one of the most impressive final-round performances of the LET season.

“I had trust in my game. I like this course,” Yamashita said afterward.

The victory was particularly impressive considering the pressure applied by Kouskova.

The Czech standout matched Yamashita's course-record 63, producing nine birdies without a bogey to finish at 19-under 269.

Kouskova closed with birdies on the final two holes, but even that wasn't enough to seriously threaten the champion.

“I couldn't catch [Miyu] even with this,” Kouskova admitted.

Behind the leading pair, Hong Kong's Ginnie Ding and former world No. 1 Yani Tseng shared third at 16 under. Ding's bogey-free 66 secured the best Ladies European Tour finish of her career.

American rookie Anna Morgan also delivered an eye-catching performance, recording 10 birdies during a final-round 65 to share fifth place at 14 under with Australia's Stephanie Bunque.

Morgan's performance pushed her into first place in the LET Rookie of the Year standings.

China's Ruixin Liu and South Korea's Hyo Joo Kim finished tied for seventh at 13 under.

Meanwhile, South Africa's Casandra Alexander maintained her lead in the LET Order of Merit with 2,956.48 points.

The Ladies European Tour now takes a week off before returning for the Hero Women's Indian Open, scheduled for October 22-25.

For Yamashita, however, the bigger story is becoming impossible to ignore.

Four victories in one season, another course record and a growing reputation as one of women's golf's most formidable competitors.

At just 25, Yamashita's best golf may still be ahead of her.
