Japan’s Miyu Yamashita held off a strong challenge from Charley Hull to win the AIG Women’s Open by two shots on Sunday.

Yamashita, who began the day leading by one from Kim A-lim, carded a steady final-round 70 in blustery conditions to land her first major title with an 11-under-par total of 277 at Royal Porthcawl.
