Hinako Shibuno (22 = Suntory) held the lead despite the suffering and won the second major victory for the first time in Japan.

He turned 74 with 1 birdie and 4 bogies, dropped 3 and holed with a total of 4 under and 209. Second place is Amy Olson (USA) with a total of 3 under. The lead, which was 3 strokes behind in second place at the start, was reduced to 1 stroke. Players who made it through the qualifying round were unable to improve their scores across the board.

Shibuno got off to a ghostly start with 3 putts on the first par 4. The second par 4 also put the second shot into the bunker on the left opposite the green, but when the third shot moved 2 meters and stopped, he smiled in relief. On the fifth par 5, he took the first birdie by hitting the third shot 1 meter from the pin. Still, at par 4 7, I eliminated the 2 meter par putt and hit the second bogey.

The score did not improve in the second half, and par 4 14 was bogey because he could not get the third shot from the bunker. In the last 18, I put the second shot in the bunker and made it a bogey, and I dropped three. The throwing distance was correct until the second lap, but I suffered from an intense green due to the rain the day before.
