It's on to Round 2 at the 2025 AIG Women's British Open, held this year at Royal Porthcawl in Wales. Lydia Ko is the defending champion after claiming the Women's British Open a year ago at St. Andrews and after 18 holes, she is tied for 74th after a 1-over round on Thursday.

For Miyu Yamashita, Sunday evening signalled it was finally time to celebrate. The Japanese golfer and LPGA rookie had just won her first major, the AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl, one day after turning 24.
