The 26-year-old overturned a four-shot deficit to finish at 17-under 271, one stroke ahead of Haeran Ryu and Hye-Jin Choi, for her first LPGA Tour victory.
Yuri Yoshida won her first LPGA Tour title in Haenam, South Korea, on October 25, 2026, finishing one stroke ahead of Haeran Ryu and Hye-Jin Choi at Pine Beach Golf Links. Her four-round total was 271, or 17 strokes under par—the standard number of strokes set for the course.
Yoshida began the final round four shots behind Ryu, the overnight leader. A fast start brought Yoshida into contention, and both players made bogeys on the final hole to leave her one-stroke advantage intact.
Yoshida made an eagle—two strokes under par—at the par-five second hole, followed by three consecutive birdies, each one stroke under par. She completed the opening nine holes in 31 strokes, five under par.
Ryu made par on each of her first 15 holes. Yoshida dropped a stroke with a bogey at the 15th, but Ryu’s bogey at the par-four 16th gave Yoshida a one-shot lead.
Both players birdied the 17th, keeping Yoshida ahead. That birdie proved crucial: Yoshida could afford a bogey, one stroke over par, at the last because Ryu also bogeyed the hole. Ryu finished with a final-round 73.
