Japan’s Ai Miyazato shot a 7-under 64 Sunday to win the ShopRite LPGA Classic. She was 16-under for the 3-day tournament and finished ahead of M.J. Hur (-14), Inbee Park (-12) and three tied for fourth place (-11): Suzann Pettersen, Hee-Won Han and Katherine Hull. Paula Creamer did a stellar job in her return, finishing in seventh place (-10).
This was Miyazato’s fifth win on the LPGA Tour in 2010. The winner’s prize was $225,000, pushing Miyazato’s earnings this year to $830,238. She has just taken over the No. 1 spot in the Rolex World Golf Rankings.
