It was a rough 24th birthday for the Japanese rookie, who saw her lead shrink to one after she hit only seven fairways and took 34 putts.

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.
