Kuwaki Wins Women’s Open After Playoff

Kuwaki Wins Women’s Open After Playoff

Shiho Kuwaki, a golfer from Japan, played a big tournament called the Women’s Open at a golf club in England.

She and a German player, Esther Henseleit, finished the regular rounds with the same score, so they had to play extra holes to decide the winner.

On the second extra hole, Henseleit missed a shot that would have kept her even, and Kuwaki made a good shot that won the match.

This was the second time a Japanese player has won this tournament in a row.

Other players like Yealimi Noh and Nelly Korda also played well, but they didn’t win.
