Near San Francisco, over 4 days and 3 extra playoff holes, and with the help of massive choke/collapse of American Lexi Thompson, 19 yrs old Yuka defeated Nasa Hataoka of Japan.
A great, and impressive, win by youngster over big field of seasoned international golfers. She will continue play in USA and will need to choose soon which country to align with as her father Japanese and mum a Filipina. Yuka speaks both those languages and English too, so has a bright future in golf.
The US$ 1,000,000 for Yuka will no doubt help her family in the Phillipines.
