KAPOLEI:


Japan’s Ai Miyazato claimed her eighth career LPGA title by shooting a two-under 70 in the final round of the inaugural LPGA Lotte Championship.


Miyazato finished with a 12-under 276 total for a four-stroke victory at the tournament. “I don’t know what happened,” said Miyazato. “I just focused on my game. I was pretty nervous toward the end as everyone is playing so well. I had to finish really strong.” Miyazato had taken a three-shot lead into the final round and had four birdies and two bogeys as windy conditions again made things difficult on the par-72 Ko Olina course. Miyazato’s victory comes after two runner-up finishes to world number one Yani Tseng of Taiwan this season, in Thailand and Phoenix.
