Yuri Yoshida became the fourth player from Japan to win this season when she held off a strong contingent of South Korean players at the BMW Ladies Championship. The 26-year-old became the fourth first-time winner on the LPGA this season and the second from Japan, joining compatriot Yuna Nishimura.
Yoshida won $352,500 for her one-stroke victory at Pine Beach Golf Links, bringing her career earnings to $1,591,573.
"It's a special moment for me, and actually, I was nervous," she said. "But at this moment, I'm really happy."
World No. 3 Haeran Ryu lost a four-stroke lead on Sunday, closing with bogey to finish one stroke back alongside Hye-Jin Choi, who has yet to win on the LPGA. Choi also finished second last week in China.
