She shot a 70 in the final round, scoring three birdies, three bogeys and an eagle on the par-five sixth hole.

The tournament, held in Wales, is the final major of the 2025 LPGA Tour and featured a total prize purse of US$9.5 million. Both Taiwanese players in the field — Hsu and former world No. 1 Yani Tseng — made the cut.
Hsu opened her final round with two early bogeys, but recovered with a birdie on the fourth and an eagle on the sixth to steady her play.
She said she had been nervous at the start and played too quickly, but settled into her rhythm after the birdie and especially following the eagle. “I got back into my usual rhythm,” she said.
This was Hsu’s eighth appearance at the Women’s British Open, surpassing her previous best finish of tied for 23rd in 2017. With her tie for sixth, she earned US$302,000 and climbed to 52nd in the LPGA rankings.
YANI TSENG
Meanwhile, Taiwanese veteran Tseng shot a 76 on Sunday to finish tied for 63rd at 11-over 299.
Tseng made her Women’s Open debut in 2008, finishing as runner-up before claiming back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011. This year is her 13th appearance at the event and the first time she made the cut since 2017, posting a two-round total of 145 to qualify for the weekend.
Despite facing a challenging final round, Tseng said the tournament was her happiest on the golf course in years, adding that it helped her rediscover herself after injuries, surgery and a long slump.
“Even when facing tough situations on the course, I felt confident I could handle them,” she said.
Tseng is scheduled to compete in the Ladies European Tour’s London Championship later this week.
