Ai Miyazato hopes one day to be as famous on the world stage as she is in Japan.
It could happen, but the 19-year-old Miyazato knows she'll have to play better than she did at last week's Nabisco Championship where she made her debut on the U.S. LPGA Tour.
Playing as a sponsor's invitee, Miyazato, who is hugely popular in Japan, failed to break par at Mission Hills Country Club and finished in a tie for 44th place. World No. 1 Annika Sorenstam won after not making a bogey and shooting rounds of 66 and 68 on the weekend, a performance that impressed the young Miyazato.
