Kuwaki’s win is Japan’s second straight at the Women’s British Open, following Miyu Yamashita’s victory last year at Royal Porthcawl.<\/p>\n
Ranked 46th in the world, Kuwaki became the fifth player from Japan to have won a Major over the last three years by outlasting Esther Henseleit of Germany with a par on the second hole of a playoff.<\/p>\n
Kuwaki and Henseleit had finished regulation play tied at five under par after the German holed a lengthy birdie putt on the 18th to force extra holes.<\/p>\n
American Yealimi Noh, who had held the overnight lead and started the day strongly, finished third at four under.<\/p>\n
Tan shared sixth place with five other players, including South Korea’s Haeran Ryu, who won the last two women’s Majors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
