Hinako Shibuno of Japan finished with a birdie to win the Women’s British Open by one shot over Lizette
Salas as she wrapped up a stunning major championship debut.

The 20-year-old Shibuno, a rookie on the Japan LPGA Tour who was making her LPGA Tour debut, birdied
five of the final nine holes in a 4-under 68 and 18-under 270 overall.

Salas, who started the day tied for fourth, quickly played herself into contention with three birdies in the
first four holes, and she added five more in a 7-under 65 at Woburn Golf Club.
