Japan's Shiho Kuwaki won the Women's Open after defeating Germany's Esther Henseleit in a playoff at Royal Lytham on Sunday, claiming her first major title after finishing regulation play tied at five-under-par.
Henseleit forced the playoff with a lengthy birdie putt on the 18th, erasing a one-shot deficit, while American Yealimi Noh, who held the overnight lead and led for much of the final round, finished one shot outside the playoff in third after a tense back-nine battle.
