EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Miyu Yamashita opened a five-stroke lead Friday in the CPKC Women's Open as players again fought mosquitos on the tree-lined course tucked in a bend in the North Saskatchewan River.
A stroke ahead Thursday after an opening 8-under 62, the 4-foot-11 Yamashita shot 64 in the afternoon to get to 14 under at Royal Mayfair.
"I'm really happy," Yamashita said through a translator. "With two rounds to go, I just want to focus on my game and keep playing like this."
The 25-year-old ***** anese player won the Meijer LPGA Classic in June after taking the Women's British Open and Maybank Championship last year.
"Rather than focus on the score, I'm thinking about how I can make birdies," the 2025 LPGA rookie of the year said.
