Taiwan's top female professional golfer, Wu Chia-yen, narrowly missed her third career title at the JLPGA's Sky RKB Elite Tournament today. In the final round, she carded a 67 with seven birdies and two bogeys, finishing with a three-day total of 14-under-par, just one stroke behind the winner to secure second place. Currently ranked 100th in the world, the 22-year-old Wu has officially become Taiwan's number one female golfer, surpassing Hsieh Su-wei who is ranked 107th. Wu, who was tied for second after the first two rounds, was in contention for the championship throughout the final day. Despite a strong performance, including birdies on holes 11, 12, and 15, a bogey on the 16th hole proved costly, and she was unable to complete a comeback. Wu, who obtained her full JLPGA Tour card in 2024, won her first career Japan Tour title last year and secured another championship this season at the Fujitsu Ladies Golf Tournament. She is now set to travel to the United States to compete in the 2026 U.S. Women's Open, having earned her spot through the Japan qualifying tournament.
