Miyu Yamashita of Japan followed up her impressive opening round with a 6-under 64 on Friday to move to 14-under and holds a five-shot lead heading into the weekend at the 2026 CPKC Women’s Open at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton, Alta.

In the process, Yamashita set a new tournament record and tied an additional tournament record over her first 36 holes.

• Tied tournament record for largest 36-hole lead (5 strokes) previously set by So Yeon Ryu in 2014.

Anna Huang of Vancouver, B.C. leads the Canadian contingent following a 2-under 68 to sit T7 at 7-under for the tournament. Defending champion Brooke Henderson of Smiths Falls, Ont. sits T18 at 5-under. Huang and Henderson are among seven Canadians to make the cut, the most since 1996. This marks the fifth time that seven Canadians have advanced to play the weekend at Canada’s National Women’s Open.

Among the seven, three Canadian amateurs have made the cut, including Aphrodite Deng (-3), Michelle Xing (-2) and Clairey Lin (Even), equaling the most Canadian amateurs to make the cut since 1978.
