Yuna Nishimura took her maiden LPGA Tour title

Japan's Yuna Nishimura picked up her first LPGA title after a five-stroke victory at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.

A pair of 63s saw Nishimura take control of the 54-hole tournament with a final-round 66 ensuring a 21-under par score, five clear of a trio of players.

That group in joint second included In-Gee Chun, Chanettee Wannasaen and Akie Iwai who stormed up the leaderboard after a sensational closing 62.

Ireland's Lauren Walsh finished just outside the top 50 with a Sunday round of 70 leaving her on five-under par.
