Chisato Iwai pulls away from pack to win inaugural Riviera Maya Open

Chisato Iwai won her first LPGA title at the Mexico Riviera Maya Open on Sunday in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Iwai took control of the tournament right from the start by making five birdies in her first six holes, which helped her establish an early advantage.
The 22-year-old Japanese rookie shot a 6-under 66 for a 12-under 276 total, winning by six shots at El Camaleon course.
Iwai earned $375,000 as the third LPGA rookie winner this season, marking the first time in 10 years three rookies won by May.
The LPGA made its first appearance in Mexico since 2017 with a less competitive lineup, as attention now turns to the upcoming U.S. Women's Open scheduled to take place at Erin Hills.
