Japanese golfer Miyu Yamashita shares the lead at a tournament in Japan as she pursues her sixth worldwide victory of the 2026 season. The event, covered by Beth Ann Nichols for Golfweek and USA TODAY Sports, places Yamashita in position to add another title to her campaign.
Yamashita has established herself as one of the most consistent performers on the global circuit this year. A sixth win would further cement her status among the elite in women's golf. The tournament continues through the weekend with Yamashita looking to convert her co-lead into a championship.
