Miyazato beat Pettersen with a 63

"I was trying to focus on every single shot and not trying to win or get a low score," said Miyazato. Ai Miyazato claimed her second LPGA Tour title and prize money of $195,000 when she charged past Norway's Suzann Pettersen to win the season-opening Honda PTT LPGA Thailand on Sunday.

Miyazato born June 19, 1985 in Higashi, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan is a professional golfer (her favorite golf equipment brand is TaylorMade) who currently competes on the US-based LPGA Tour and the Japan LPGA Tour (JLPGA)

As an amateur in 2003, she won a professional event on the Japan LPGA Tour – the Dunlop Ladies Open in Miyagi Prefecture, which is where she was attending high school at the time. In her 2004 rookie season on the JLPGA Tour she won five tournaments. In February 2005, she represented Japan along with Rui Kitada winning the inaugural Women's World Cup of Golf with her beloved Callaway Big Bertha 460 Driver. In 2005, she won six events on the JLPGA tour, and was the 2 ranked player on the JLPGA Tour behind Yuri Fudoh.

In winning the Japan Open Championship at age twenty in 2005, Miyazato became the youngest player on the JLPGA Tour to win a major. Furthering the notion that Miyazato has revived the JLPGA Tour after the retirement of Ayako Okamoto, over 32,000 people (the largest gallery ever to attend a JLPGA event) witnessed the final day of that tournament.

Congratulations for her, hope the TaylorMade R9 Irons  can bring more good lucks for her in the next competitions.
