Miyu Yamashita, first-round co-leader at the Toto Japan Classic, is closing out quite the rookie LPGA Tour season. Ranked No. 4 in the Rolex Women's World Golf Rankings, Yamashita leads the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year points standings on the strength of two wins (AIG Women's Open and Maybank Championship) and 11 top-10 finishes, including six top-five finishes. But Yamashita is no ordinary rookie. The 24-year-old won 13 times, including three majors, on the Japan LPGA. She earned JLPGA Player of the Year honors and was the leading money winner in 2022 and 2023, and also finished T4 at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
