Miyu Yamashita retains Maybank title by two strokes

Japan’s Miyu Yamashita won the Maybank Championship at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club in Malaysia on 1 November 2026. Her four-round total of 266, 22 under par, left her two strokes ahead of China’s Yan Liu as she defended her title.

Yamashita closed with a four-under 68, making five birdies and one bogey. Yan Liu also shot 68 in the final round and finished on 268, 20 under par, so she did not close the gap on the last day.

Yamashita receives $450,000 from the $3 million prize fund, according to Bernama. Japanese coverage highlights her second consecutive victory in the event. The result concerns the Malaysian LPGA tournament, not the overall season standings.
