Eighteen-year-old Ai Miyazato became the youngest ever professional to win on the Japanese LPGA tour on Sunday when she carded a 2-under-par 70 to capture her first title as a pro golfer at the season-opening Daikin Orchid Ladies.
Eighteen-year-old Ai Miyazato sinks a putt en route to winning her first championship as a pro at the Daikin Orchid Ladies in Okinawa.
Playing in only her fourth tournament since turning pro last October, overnight leader Miyazato made four birdies against two bogeys to win the 60 million yen event at Ryuku Golf Club in her native Okinawa.
"This is just the best feeling. Practice in the off-season didn't go quite as well as I wanted it too and I was just hoping to make the final two rounds ahead of this tournament," said Miyazato.
