Swedish Golfers Struggle in British Open as Yamashita Wins

It was no advanced placement for any of the remaining Swedish women in this year's British Open golf. The Japanese Miyu Yamashita won.

Linn Grant became the best Swedish after having played the final round on par – a total of one under. Anna Nordqvist ended Sunday three over par, a total of one over par. Madelene Sagström had it even tougher during the final round, four over and a total of five over par.

Briton Charley Hull had a strong final day and put a little pressure on Miyu Yamashita. The Japanese, who had not shown any emotions during the weekend's play, could however still keep her nerves in check and putt home the victory – a total of eleven under par.

After the victory, there were both smiles, tears of joy and a champagne shower for the winning 24-year-old. Compatriot Minami Katsu and Charley Hull both finished behind Yamashita at nine under par.
