2025 AIG Women’s Open Final Round Report: Yamashita Nears Glory as Hull Falters Late
The final round of the 2025 AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl delivered high drama as contenders battled fierce winds and mounting pressure in the season’s last major. Japan’s Miyū Yamashita remains in control at -12 through 15 holes, maintaining a bogey-free round and showing no signs of cracking under pressure.
England’s Charley Hull, who began the day with hopes of a maiden major title, saw her chances slip away with back-to-back bogeys on 16 and 17. Her par putt on 17 veered left, leaving her at -9 and needing an eagle on the final hole to have any realistic shot at catching Yamashita. With the leader safely on the green in regulation at 16, Hull’s hopes now hinge on an unlikely collapse.
Meanwhile, Hsu Wei-ling of Taiwan has emerged as the new clubhouse leader, carding a solid 70 to finish at -6. Her birdie on 18 capped a steady round and could earn her a top-five finish depending on how the final groups close out.
Other notable contenders include:
- Minami Katsu at -8 through 16, still within striking distance.
- Rio Takeda and A Lim Kim both at -7, with holes running out.
With just a few holes remaining, Yamashita’s poised composure and flawless round suggest she’s on the brink of her first major title. Unless Hull pulls off a miracle or Yamashita stumbles dramatically, the trophy may be heading to Japan.
